Hello Everyone,

I was wondering which versions and flavors of Linux are supported at the moment? I have been running different versions of Ubuntu and thought about installing Synchronet to a Linux version.

Thanks

Hello there,

I've recently installed Synchronet on my CentOS server, which as you might know isn't exactly a bleeding edge Linux distro, where many package versions are pretty old. I also don't have many packages installed, thus I believe the dependencies list isn't that big, which means it should run just fine on most Linux installations. Check all the deps here:

That's good to know. By the way I didn't know about Centos server. I am new to the whole Linux world. I just decided to take a walk on the wild side and
start messing with Ubuntu Linux. I had an idea to help me out with some software since I'm running a radio station now it seems all of the server
ended stuff ends up being Unix or Linux based if I want some soft of web interface. So I have not seen anything like that for windows. So I'm taking a brave step forward. Thanks for the input guys. I will let you know how it
turns out.

I have been able to build & run Synchronet on OpenSUSE and Mint Linux.

Any x86 or x64 Linux flavor/distro should, in theory, work. Even some non-x86 distros can be made to work with proper care and feeding.

Hello Everyone,

I was wondering which versions and flavors of Linux are supported at
the moment? I have been running different versions of Ubuntu and
thought about installing Synchronet to a Linux version.

SBBS on my Ubuntu VM box is what I use. Been doing just fine since Jan of this year. My recommendation absolutely. I'd grab the latest version of Ubuntu, install the prerequisiates then install by CVS. Pretty much that's it. Then setup SBBS in SCFG to meet you do, do some customs, add a door or two and a few message networks and anything else that floats your boat.

Sincerely,
Jon Justvig

Is there a doc that shows how to port a Windows SBBS configuration and data to Linux?

There's this, however it doesn't touch on Windows -> Linux migration:

http://wiki.synchro.net/faq:misc#migration

The process is basically to install Synchronet on your Linux system, then copy the following directories over from your old SBBS install: ctrl, data, mods, text, probably your web directory as well.

I ran into a few hiccups related to filenames and the introduction of case-sensitivity into the equation. I think that was mostly on old crap in my text directory, created by old editors that REALLY LIKED UPPERCASE FILENAMES.

You might hit a couple of snags, but nothing difficult to surmount.
