Joaquim is in the progress of doing so but it's going a bit slow at the moment because of life, work and stuff.

Perfect!

If you want to connect another FD/2, you may try 2:221/360 at rbb.bbs.fi port 32 :)

He's been at it for about ten years now, give or take, so I wouldn't hold my breath just yet but the man is as stubborn as they come so I trust we will get a Linux version of FD sooner or later. :)

Great! I'll keep ya posted!

I'm putting it on the backburner for a minute, I have to finish my other BBS projects I already started, but I was so excited to get it running, I stopped everything! LOL

I AM having trouble trying to get VM out of full-sreen mode on my laptop... Regards,

JoHo was always one of my favorite all-time favorite writers! He's helped me ALOT back in the day in this echo...

Wonder if he still even reads this place still

Yep, I've read him here recently (well, in the last year anyway).

he was connected to my system until Hurricane Florence came through here... his

address is 2:20/4609 so look in the seenby lines for "20/4609" or just "4609" if there are other 2:20 systems carrying the area...

Well, that "anyone" would have to be me :-)

Linux is one of the primary platform(s) I would like to port FD to. The only two problems I'm having at the moment is "life" and "time".
