    They're not. If you're talking about Vertrauen (i.e. cvs.synchro.net versus vert.synchro.net), that just means I haven't re-build/run all instances of sbbs on Vertrauen yet.

    Hi Rob,

    In case not aware, Janis closed up on the 31st. We are reworking the filebone.

    To get them hatched out (you may have taken care of that already) but get them to Vince Cohen or Dallas Hinton (or me). Announcements in the wings shortly. If you need emails: I am at cshenk54@yahoo.com.

    More info later as a filebone redevelops.

    Okay, thanks for keeping me up to date. I have not hatched Synchronet releases into the FidoNet filebone in a *long* long while, so... haven't given it much thought. But let me know when things are stabilized and I'll give it a go.

    That's what I call "non-sensical".

    I've been running Synchronet on Windows since I started using Synchronet. I've thought of switching it over to Linux but just haven't yet.

    Linux is a great alternative to Windows. I ran it before when I had a desktop pc and loved it.

    Linux is a great alternative to Windows. I ran it before when I had a desktop pc and loved it.

    I have a second PC running Linux (which I use as a Plex media server, among other things). I actually have my BBS running in a Windows virtual machine on that PC. So far I've kept my BBS in Windows, partly because if it's not broken then don't fix it. It would take some work to get it migraded to Linux, though I imagine it probably wouldn't be too difficult. I do have one Win32 door set up on my BBS (Ambroshia: Test of Time), which has been played before by some users on my BBS, but I'm not sure how much it would be missed.

    You can actually run *both*, like I do. So long as the Linux-sbbs instance and the Windows-sbbs instances have access to the same sbbs directory tree, they can live together harmoneously, serving a different set of nodes each (that the purpose of the FirstNode/LastNode values in your sbbs.ini file). I actually run 3 instances of sbbs: Win7-32 on bbs.synchronet, Win10-64 on vert.synchro.net and Debian-Linux-64 on cvs.synchro.net.

    If you want to know more about how to do that, just ask. There may be a wiki page on it already or I if not, I should write one.

    That's fascinating. When you say each instances have access, do you mean
    like via SMB shared drive/folders?

    Aside, I was musing the other day -- would it be possible to launch Linux doors/xtrn programs from Win32 SBBS using WSL2 on the same machine? I'm
    not sure how the output would be piped to the user, but since Win now has
    the ability to directly launch a linux kernal... that would be pretty
    slick. I'm sure this is a naive assumption, tho :)
