What made you choose straight Debian over Ubuntu? What was the thought
process behind it? 

I'm just curious as I have been thinking about a distro-hop for my
Linux laptop, but I was toying with moving away from a Debian
derivative and potentially thinking about heading more towards Arch or
Manjaro or something of that ilk. Not decided yet, but it's just an
idea at this moment.

Good work on getting everything working under Debian for the
BBS computer and hope you get Python to play nice soon, I have my BBS
running in an Ubuntu 18.04 LTS container and was messing about recently
with FreeBSD and OpenBSD with Mystic, but I couldn't get Python to work
properly yet so have hit a small stumbling block... running Linux
binaries in BSD isn't too difficult, and I managed to get the majority
of it working lol, I just need Python, then I will test to see what
benefits or downfalls are to running on BSD over Linux etc.

I was also toying with the idea of creating another BBS using something
entirely different for the BBS server software, instead of Mystic,
perhaps give Enigma another go or maybe find something else. I did see
somewhere a while back something which looked cool but I don't think it
was a released software and I can't for the life of me remember what it
was called. I do know it had a really cool web-ui configuration system
though, not that I don't like text-based config, I just liked that it
had that as well.
