There's a substantial learning curve involved with BBSAing and Linux some 
sysops may not want to bother with.  However, even though it took me a while 
to catch on, my Slackware-based system has been nothing but reliable.  I even 
have actual off-site backups working correctly via rsync.net and AWS S3.  Both 
cheap and reliable backup solutions.
