Anyway, I do have a 3G dongle I was toying with the idea of setting it up as
a modem but just the fight with lines noise and poor quality for that ONE call a year you might get....Just not worth it.

I guess an argument could be made for a site that lets you test Mystic, Synchronet, etc. A friend of mine worked on something like that years ago,

That doesn't exist (to my knowledge), but presumably it would be
a site that lets you see what it entails to be a Synchronet sysop
without actually installing it on your machine?
What does either of those sentences actually mean?
What's the URL of this "distrotest site"?

Ahhh, I see. Well, I get the *idea* of it, but it doesn't seem
very realistic (or even possible) to me. As we all know, it's an
on-going process, with a tweak-here and a change-there, and
checking up on this-and-that. Not something you could
"experience" with a few minutes on some "test site".
I know you (and others) know that already. Mostly that was for
TM's benefit... ;-)

The good thing about docker, is that you can test/play very quickly "docker run ...",
and after a brief download of the image you are running - you are up and using (and
configuring first if it is the first time).
For testing/playing, where you dont care about loosing data, then docker cleans itself
up when the container stops. If you want to keep it longer, then you just provide
persistent storage to the container.
So, its a good way to try, play almost instantly, and if you dont like, you "docker rm"
and move on. ...deon
This sounds perfect as I'm VERY BUSY - I've had to resort to microwaving my

The Millionaire wants to go to a website, click on a button, and then find himself staring at a test instance of Synchronet shortly thereafter. Docker is great and could certainly be a piece of the puzzle, but I don't think it satisfies his latest wishlist item on its own.

From what I understand, there is an "adult version" called "YouPorn".
Of course, I'm sure kids are going to lie about their age to get access
to that.
Another one said "I need access to the adult files for a high school
sex education project". My response?? "Nice try". <G>
While "dirty old Sysops need love, too", there's a time and a place
for everything.
Opening another can of worms, many folks think that NUDITY is ALSO PORNOGRAPHY. That word comes from the Greek word, PORENIA -- meaning
all sexual intercourse and actions outside of a marriage relationship between a man and a woman (husband and wife).
