Many, many years ago, I ran STadel, a port of Citadel for the Atari
ST. Now I'm on Windows, and I'm looking to run Citadel  -- or a
variant -- again. Is it possible?

Fire up a Linux VM and go to town!  You can get the still-maintained
Citadel at citadel.org

Do you have any recommendations as to which disto is most suitable?
And how slow would it be through a VM?

For the text interface (Citadel also has a web-based groupware
interface into your rooms/floors), it should not be noticable.

Might not even be noticable on the web side, should you choose to run
it.

If I was hosting something like this, I'd put it on a Digital Ocean
droplet or something running Linux native, but that's your business.

Hey, SqualorTrawler, just a quick heads-up:
**noticable** is actually spelled **noticeable**. You can remember it
by **remember the middle e**.
Have a nice day!

This has been a tremendous help. I'd actually never considered this
possibility, nor -- truthfully -- really been aware that it existed.

Thanks!

You could get away with probably any distro if you knew your way
around the development packages, but I would recommend (unless you
have any familiarity with anything else) something like a debian
minimal install and go from there.

You won't have any trouble with speed, even when running the webcit
web interface - it's all written in C, no slower languages involved
(ie, no need for an apache + php + whatever stack).

One last question concerning something that I know nothing about.

Could i run Cit as a Docker image?
