Hi,
The idea of starting BBS is wonderful. I appreciate your efforts for the same but as
you see there are already abundant resources for
Linux. Just check out www.lunateks.com. This seems to be very promising site for
promoting and discussing serious Linux matters. I
think it would be helpful in further building such sites with active participation
rather than simply popping out with new discussion
forums and BBSs.
This is my personal opinion and just a suggestion and I sincerely hope you agree to it.
Seshan.
