Hello Dale,

 DB> For you die hard Linux users, have a question.  When running a mailer
 DB> and/or bbs system, do you prefer pure text based systems or do like
 DB> GUI versions?

Text based is what is needed. My BBS runs on a server where there is no xorg or
 the like installed so in that situation text based is essential.

A GUI is not a bad thing also. If there was a GUI I would run that too, where I
 can.

 DB> Also do prefer to run just a DOS based system or native Linux system?

Linux native. There are things like dosemu that can be used to run DOS based
software but it's full of stuff that works kinda/sorta/mostly.

 Ttyl :-),
