Hello There,

In recent weeks I have been contemplating makings some changes. Now, I am not
one to make drastic changes without due consideration. I have been a rather
consistent user of Ubuntu Linux for some years now. And BBBS has been running
on Ubuntu the whole time except for a short time
on Windows Server when I first installed BBBS. As I have mentioned I  have been
 cutting back on FTN participation's recently even though I  still 8 PC's
available running either running a 64b flavor of Linux or  a 64b version of
Windows. This isn't including several laptops and tablets.

I usually am a type of the "If it ain't broke, don't screw it up!". So, I  have
 resisted upgrading Ubuntu Linux on the BBBS machine which currently runs
Ubuntu 16.10. I have recently to upgrade the OS on the BBBS to possibly a
NON-Ubuntu flavor of Linux. I have Debian, CentOS, and Linux Mint recently 
as well as some rather specialized versions of Linux. But haven't decided on  a
 flavor yet. I am doing a backup of the 450,000 files in the BBBS home
directory as I type. :-)

Anyone with any thoughts? I am mainly interested in stability as I have plenty
of PC's to use to experiment on.
