Howdy,

For your primary requirement to learn Linux, it probably doesnt matter what BBS
 software you install. I've played with many and none are particularly
dependant on knowing Linux. Apart from pathing, and knowing that users cannot
open ports below <1024 everything else will pretty much be the same on any
platform.

So I would start anywhere. If you go the Mystic route any Linux user will be
able to help you with challenges along the way.

The same would be true for Synchronet or anything else I guess.

I see that there is a new release of WWIV - if time permits I might have a go
at setting it up (never used it). And I'd get it up and running in docker (only
 because I'm a docker fan)...

BTW: I there are docker images for the other BBSes (I have some of them) - and
yes thats a little extra to learn, but IMHO, its not to onorous...
