My original response... the one that started this...  wasn't that they should be running linux instead.  It was more of a "but I am running linux so I might not quite understand the problem" on what was apparently a Windows system.

I very clearly never told anyone to just run linux, only that I was and syncterm was working sans the issues being discussed.

I am 100% positive that if I went back over the last year or so in the BBS networks I carry, I would find a lot more "why don't you just run Windows" posts than I would "just use linux" posts, especially when it comes to people asking about getting doors running.
