As long as you don't have any custom stuff done in your exec ãdirectory, you should be fine.

The Linux crowd have the Synchronet CVS, which is basically almost like ãa rolling distrobution in it's own way.ããRegards,ãNickãã--- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20130910ã * Origin: Dark Sorrow | darksorrow.us (723:1/701)ã þ Synchronet þ thePharcyde_ telnet://bbs.pharcyde.org (Wisconsin)ã

possible to run a release on Linux, but there's currently not much point. With
a but of luck, we'll have everyone who isn't using experimental features back on a release build in the not too distance future.ããThis will also allow packaging with distros and such, as well as getting better
support from upstream sources and Linux distros.ãã---ãhttp://DuckDuckGo.com/ a better search engine that respects your privacy.ã þ Synchronet þ My Brand-New BBS (All the cool SysOps run STOCK!)ã

When I first installed I would have used that option. ãBut this script isn't my invention, it is based on the instructions as ãlisted at wiki.synchro.net/install:nix. I've been running it for nearly 2 ãyears and it works well.ãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Electronic Warfare BBS | telnet://ewbbs.synchro.netã
