Has anyone ever tried this distro with Synchronet BBS before?

Just a reminder, real names are the norm on FidoNet. And I'm assuming your parents didn't name you The Millionaire. Just as mine didn't name me McDoob...
I stopped caring about Ubuntu when they stopped using Gnome. Now, I give my love to Linux Mint...
But, I'm also using Mystic, not Synchronet. And my BBS is running on a Pi. PiOS (and most other Pi installs) run a Debian-based Linux, like Ubuntu, but that's where the similarity ends. Therefore, I cannot offer any useful advice on this subject.

MX Linux is #1 distro on distrowatch. It's a pretty nice one, I believe.
Please use real names! This is extremely encouraged on FidoNet!
I've been looking at MX too. But, having deployed Mint on my only Linux PC, I'm not really interested in changing again. (o_O)
Besides, most new distros (including MX) are just Ubuntu/Debian, with a few minor changes. What reason is there, besides the UI, to change?

He posted it on DoveNet, McNoob. That DoveNet echo is gated to
FidoNet.
So instead, you offered some non-useful and mistaken critical comments
for no real purpose. Bravo.
I used to like Gnome too, until I realized how much better Xfce was.

At the very least, don't continue this bullsh!t on fsxNet.
I don't want your kind on there. And I'm not alone.

As much as I hate to admit it, I agree with this statement. Xfce
is better in many ways. Unless you like...you
know...customizing...
I have not, but see no reason why SBBS wouldn't run just fine on it,
once all the prerequisites were installed. That distro appears to
be yet-another-Ubuntu-clone, even more bloated than most.
... All the easy problems have been solved.

I wasn't bragging. I was trying to stop a troll, by pointing out that I've seen, and dealt with, far worse.
the best way to deal with perceived trolls is to simply not feed them ;)

Isn't Gnome still the default desktop on Ubuntu? Either way, I've never really liked the default GUI on Gnome - It feels like it was designed
for a tablet. I liked classic Gnome (2.x, I believe)?.
Linux Mint has been my favorite distro for a while now. I particularly like their Cinnamon UI, although I think their Xfce edition is good too.

Why are you attacking his name? He has a point. As others have pointed out, the message was writen on Dove-Net, which allows aliases. I'm also reading this thread on Dove-Net..
I suppose it may be a good thing if many of the Linux distros converge
on a standard. It has always seemed like an issue that many Linux
distros have used their own package managers etc..

It is also helpful for new users to get used to a single Linux variant. I can imagine what someone just coming over from Windoze would think if they knew just how many different Linux-es there are...It is one of the strengths of Linux, that it's open-source. It's also one of the weaknesses...

I've sometimes heard that Linux itself is just the kernel, and what is added to that (including the GNU tools and other software, shells, and
GUI if desired) is what makes it a complete OS.
People often refer to
all the distros generally as Linux, which isn't really wrong, but each Linux distro could be considered its own OS.
I like to see innovation
in the different flavors of Linux, but differences in dependencies and package management systems can make things difficult.

Again, that's true. The only commonality between Arch, Debian, and Manjaro, for instance, is the kernel. However, a majority of newer
distros are based on Ubuntu, or at least Debian (which Ubuntu is based on), and therefore are very similar. Which brings us right back to the start of our conversation. :)
that's nice to know, mcdipshit

I'm having RMS flashbacks, stopping interviews, podcasts and panel discussions to "correct" people to call it GNU + Linux.
I'd call it Linux with a GNU kernel, myself. :)

Thanks for your feedback, MoROn!
Are you planning to actually take part in this discussion? Or are you just here to throw digital feces at people like a modern-age monkey?

Yeah, okay, if you really want to be that specific, it was originally called GNU + Linux. However, there's nothing that's completely
incorrect in what I said.

FYI: Most of the people in here predate Facebook by a decade or two in
terms of online activity, trolls, flamewars, etc.

Have not seen it though hopefully another has. Me, I'm reading up tosee if there is a fix for inet_ntop issues with XP.
Sorry, sucky putty is messy. The link to the 2 C++ files for install of the 3.19 no longer exist. (actually, second one does, first doesnt).
