Actually, back when I first installed Slackware MBSE was the first BBS that I
installed on Linux. Since then I have installed BBBS, SBBS, and Mystic.

I think the reason that I didn't stick with MBSE longer than I did wasn't a 
fault of MBSE. It was at the time a lack of understanding of Linux's
functionality. Everything was in odd and/or unknown places in Linux. As opposed
 to Windows of the day. Hech, now I prefer Linux over Windows. :-)

While I probably will maintain a BBBS presence...

I try to always make sure that I have a few spare Linux PC's including a few
Pi3's sitting around to try/test things on. I must confess my lack of looking
at MBSE recently but will acquire the current MBSE package and investigate. :-)
