Hi! Roger,

On 10 Apr 19 19:49, you wrote to me:

Same, same.  For the present I've opted for bookmarking a site that (sounds 
like it's...) similar to their original (pre-2007?) webforum, in the closing 
announcement comments.

I wouldn't have.  For a recommendation I would nominate either of two 
Ubuntu-based iterations from April last year (their 18.04 LTS releases).  I'm 
running both at present: with 'Xubuntu' desktops on both PCs here, with one of 
them running a 'Lubuntu' VM in VirtualBox... which may replace the Fidonet 
*function* on this PC.

Both distro versions are "reviewed" by a bloke named 'DistroTube' on YT, who 
goes through the installation procedure on each and has some fun with installed 
software.  Both are about 20 minutes runtime, and are entertaining as well as 
informative.  (Four stars out of five, each.)

Cheers,
Paul.
