Hi! Roger,

On 10 Apr 19 19:49, you wrote to me:

Same, same.  For the present I've opted for bookmarking a site that (sounds
like it's...) similar to their original (pre-2007?) webforum, in the closing
announcement comments.

I wouldn't have.  For a recommendation I would nominate either of two
Ubuntu-based iterations from April last year (their 18.04 LTS releases).  I'm
running both at present: with 'Xubuntu' desktops on both PCs here, with one of
them running a 'Lubuntu' VM in VirtualBox... which may replace the Fidonet
*function* on this PC.

Both distro versions are "reviewed" by a bloke named 'DistroTube' on YT, who
goes through the installation procedure on each and has some fun with
installed software.  Both are about 20 minutes runtime, and are entertaining
as well as informative.  (Four stars out of five, each.)

Cheers,
Paul.
