  • Synchronet BBS on Linux

    From Lumni@VERT/LUMPLYHS to All on Thursday, March 19, 2026 06:02:05
    I will be honest. I was really
    struggling getting this BBS software
    set up on my Slackware64 15.0 machine. I haven't done so much reading since I read Harry Potter :P.

    But once I read and looked for my
    answers, I was able to get it running
    pretty well.

    I wonder if it would run on BSD.

    Cool, glad you got it. It's refreshing to see a new sysop who's willing
    to actually put in the work required to get things going.

    I also run my board on Slackware64 and it's rock solid (which is no
    surprise).

    It will.
