Logged in to the BBS. Do not see an infopack available to download.
Tried to list the message areas as indicated on a menu, but it did nothing. Don't really want to complete an online application until I
can see more about the network. Can you put a "backbone.na" type file
and the application up for download?

I think the "bbs" part of the domain name shouldnt be there?

LinuxNet is still operating, barely. I can't get a response from Chad most of the time, although his system is still running and accepting
mail. I am still producing the distributed LinuxNet nodelists,
although I have no confirmation that they are actually making it out to Chad's downlinks.
All in all, I'm starting to think that there's not much reason to
continue it. Perhaps the FidoNet LINUX echo would be a more realistic place to discuss anything related to Linux.

I am sad to see it has died so much. I was trying to join but getting nothing from Chad.
I remember back in the day when we started LinuxNet, it was active and
a great place.
Oh, well, off I go. I do think there is a place for a dedicated Linux network but it needs to be maintained by the admin

Why not talk to the current owner about taking over if he doesn't have
time to work and promote it? That is something I would get behind. I
don't think I'd want to try and start another new network from scratch.

As one of the original starters of LinuxNet before I let it go to
Gert, I was actually looking at restarting it as I thought it had
died.

Best to just let it die, and use one of the existing area's on fido
or a othernet.

So as you might recall, I've taken over some othernets in the past -
only to see lots of initial messages of "great" and "thanks for keeping
it alive", then it to fade away and die.
Do we need another net? Could these linux focused conversations run an existing othernet - that most of us are already on?

Certainly a possibility. One of the big issues with that is that the current ZC doesn't seem to respond to anything, and I think might not be
in favor of such a thing.
I suppose it's worth asking him, I can give that a try.

Well.... an update on this. I've tried contacting Chad (the ZC) via email,
Fido netmail, and Linuxnet echomail, and have had no response. I'll give it a
little longer, but not gonna hold my breath.
If anyone knows another way to contact him, that would be great, and helpful. Basically wanting to know if he intends to continue running LinuxNet, and/or how he would feel about letting someone else do it.
Please advise here if anyone gets any further news... Thanks.
