My BBS is running Slackware 15 Linux.  I am having to move back to Windows
11 personally due to the software that my upcoming insulin pump and current
continious (sp?) glucose monitor uses.

Nah, these machines aren't like that.

If you're interested, here's the specs on my BBS server:
https://www.hpe.com/psnow/doc/c04282718

I bought it for $110 with free shipping off of eBay from a place in
Marietta, Georgia.

It's a very reliable computer with no big issues except it can't take more
than 8GB ECC RAM. That is more than plenty for running my BBS.
