dosemu2 though, but those are few.

I started my journey with Synchronet in Linux and it worked great, once meeting all the pre-requisites for compliling.
It does lack the pretty/convienient GUI that comes with the windows version, so now I'm running Synchronet in Linux through WINE. It installed just as easily as in native windows with the windows installer. Everything works great straight out of the box (although I have not personally tried 16 bit doors)

There are some GUI tools (gtkmonitor?) but I'll confess I've never used them. I'm mildly surprised to find someone opted to install on Linux but wasn't satisfied with managing via TUI, command-line utilities, and config files. (No judgement, different strokes I guess.)
LOL, I completly missed gtkmonitor. My eyes arn't as good as they used to be. Now I Guess I'll have to recompile it again, thanks alot :P
I was using GTKMonitor for a while, but after one of the updates, I seem to remember having trouble compiling it. I started to use umonitor instead (umonitor is basically the same, but text-based).

Hi, all...
Of late, I've been pondering migrating my board to Linux from Windows...

Danke,
just one -> gnu/linux are case senstitve

Except you cannot have MYFILE.TXT and myfile.txt in the same dirs directory, sbbs handles files case insensitive so you can have or the other but not both. We're just linux users forced to live in a Winderz world.
GTKMonitor sometimes (but not always) just needs a "make clean" done on it, and then it will compile again fine. Not completely sure why, but that has worked for me, including up to the latest versions.

I tried doing a 'make clean' and make again for gtkmonitor on my system, but it's failing because it looks like it can't find the jsversion.h header file:
Compiling gtkmonitor.c

Run 'make' again/first in your src/sbbs3 directory.
