I'm actually considering doing that with my old BBS computer, scary thought
though.  I've never run linux, but anything's worth a shot these days. =)

We have computer shows here in Orlando once a month, may have to see what I can
find there, as my fileserver (where the bbs is run) has so many different
servers on it now it's getting bogged down.
