pi and setup your point on that?

RPi is approx. 60 EUR - that would be quite enough to run a 1 EUR/month VM (either VPS or even VDS) for 5 years.

The point here was that it's affordable enough... anything else is just "cheaper" with all the drawbacks that come with that.

Should work with raspian or FreeBSD.

Neither of these could be used for a sensitive system.

Who wants a sensitive system, anyway? I prefer robust (if not resilient) systems.

I am running two bbs systems one is running CNet on the Amiga and the other is SBBS behing hosted on Debian. The SBBS system has 4 TB HD.

SBBS is easy to setup and it will run under linux.

Speaking about low cost:

Just to complete info. Hosting fido point in Azure cloud shell just after 1 year (as services which are "for free 1 year" - and service which should be for free for ever - changed a bit). Until now (1 year already) it was for 0 EUR/month. Actually it changed to 0.1 EUR/month (80MB in total, 12MB in message base).

[in detail: golded 28MB, crashmail 0.5MB, htick 0.8MB, binkd 1.3MB - the rest is conf and filearea + msg]

True, though why are you telling me? I'm already running it under Linux. :)
