  • Switching from Windows to Linux/ubuntu

    From Rickv@1:103/705 to All on Fri Jul 4 12:26:20 2025
    Well after 4 days of trial and remove and error, I have Synchronet up and running on Ubuntu. Yippie! Now I want to move my Windows system to it. How much of the *.ini files can I move to the new system?

    As I worked to get this running under ubuntu, I really used ChatGPT when I ran into an error. It really helped solved the problems fast.

    Thanks,
    RickV
