# Linux BBS list - Version 68

Here is the latest list of Public access BBSs, and FTP sites that carry Linux files. This list was last modified Mon May 31 10:25:19 1999

The list is available at: http://www.aracnet.com/~healyzh/bbslist/linuxbbs.html
PLEASE UPLOAD FILES TO BBSs: In posting this list I would like to point out that a large number enthusiasts don't have FTP access. In fact it is possible that by now most of the Linux fans don't. So I would like to suggest that those of us that do, find at least one BBS to post the Linux files to. I, for one post every file that I get to at least one of the local BBSs, and from there they the files tend to find there way to other local BBSs. I've seen posts about the future of Linux etc., well here is a way to help guarentee it. I think it's safe to assume that most people with FTP access also have a modem. So how about doing other Linux fans a favor and finding a BBS to upload the Linux files to.

    FORMAT:
    State YYY  BBS Name            Phone Number    Modem Speed  Online time
        Rating City                Other data

    RATING SYSTEM:
        1 -- Only enough the most basic of files
        2 -- The basic's and a little more
        3 -- So, so
        4 -- A respectable amount
        5 -- Pretty much everything you need

    ACCESS INFO:
        YYY -- Either a Yes/No/? answer to the question
        |||
        ||Free access to Linux files
        |Allow file requests (FidoNet)
        First time D/L of Linux related files

    File Requests:
      A FidoNet BBS with the right type of front-end mailer can call other
    Fido BBSs and request their  mailer to send them files that they want.
    All this can be done automatically. File Requests (FREQS) are basically
    the FidoNet equivallent to UUCP.

    Addition FTP Info:
    For people accessing German FTP sites there exists a 'Linux-FTP-Roadmap'.
    It can be found on several German sites, one in particular is:
       ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/Linux/LOCAL/Roadmaps/Linux-FTP-Roadmap.gz
    It includes some very comprehensive data on the German FTP sites.
