Well I spent last night working on adding some new nodes to fsxNet and
replying to a few netmails. Tonight I have some inter-bbs stuff to work on re-adding a node, and adding a new system as well.

I have new copies of FH and GD from Andrew to send out, but honestly, getting everyone on the same game ID yet alone the same version of the game seems a
bit of a mission at the moment. My inclination is to keep the versions the same, try a bit more to get every known system that wants to be involved
active again and then push out the changed version.

I'm slowly working on Agency and getting it set up on a new Linux box, got
some Python stuff to suss next as some menus won't run and the system crashes so I suspect the version of Python I have running is incorrect. So will be following the wiki info on that tonight.

I have been learning about VNC options and know more about the different
sorts of servers that can run on Debian now, those that create virtual
desktops and a system (x11) that will show the logged in view of the actual desktop a user is using. Asides trying to get this stuff to auto run on boot I'm mostly sorted in this department.

Once I get Agency cut over and live I'll turn my attention to other things running on the windows box that I might like to migrate over.

Baby steps :)

Nice! Getting stuff to start on boot you generally have to make a systemd unit if it's a daemon, otherwise if it's a graphical application you want to start when you login, use your desktop's session manager.

Sounds like a plan.

Keep filling us in on this Avon... I too am doing the same thing over here..
I am slowly moving my windows boxes to Ubuntu 20.04, right now I have 2 boxes running Linux, although they are running Windows VM's to handle the BBS stuff right now, I intend to eventually get them off Windows completely and
although still in VM's over to Linux..
