That may depend on what kind of BBS you want to run. I like linux
because it has native nfs. However, many distributions no longer
maintain a 32-bit version of linux.
I know there's a couple of OSes that have 32-bit versions, still. Debian
will support 32-bit until 2025, at least.
You mentioned NFS - I'm inheriting a Linux farm that's running LDAP for
auth, and it's a pain in the ass. I'm wondering what was so bad about
NIS/NFS for networking, it seemed to just work out of the box, and in my relatively limited experience, rarely broke.
