NFB Net goes linux!

[Alex Snow]

I don't get why he's dropping the bbs, there are a few that compile on

Explorer has caused a general protection fault in module kernel32.dll. I'm
sick of Winblows!

> We have acquired some new equipment and software for NFB NET.  It is a Sun
Cobalt RaQ 550 server, which is a Linux=-based server appliance.  The
hardware is installed and over the next few weeks, myself and a consultant
who has worked with me for four years, will be transferring the lists, web
site etc.

protection.  If there are features on the web Lite you would like to see,
let me know.  I can't make any promises, but looking for ideas.
