I made that change back in the last 1990s & moved from Windows 3.11 to Linux & 
MBSE.  Played a little with Mystic/Slackware but ended up staying with 
MBSE/FreeBSD becuase it was so stable & just worked.  Becuase my previous bbs 
was PowerBBS, not many doors made the transistion.  FFS, BRE, TWars, & 
ArrowBridge was about all.  That system is currently mothballed at home.  

Anytime I move overseas for employment, I fire up husky & binkd on a hosted 
server in Colorado so I dont have to bother the wife with reboots or server 
stuff.

I am currently running ESXi 6.5 on an Intel NUC locally with Slackware & Mystic 
1.12 A39 in a VM. I may stick with it & move it to the hosted server or may 
change my mind, again.  I downloaded & started messing with ArcaOS last weekend 
& immediately tossed ProBoard, FD, & FE on it...
