The shell server, mxlinux.eskimo.com, is again available.

     It has been upgraded from 18.3 to 19.2.  So far 19.2 appears to be MUCH more solid and bug free relative to 18.3.  I have yet to find any actual bugs in the implementation (but a hell of a lot of operator errors).

     I have not installed many user applications yet, so many mailers, news readers, editors, etc, are not there yet but will be soon.  I think you may want to consider this as a good alternative to debian and ubuntu now.  It is based off of the Debian 10 code base.

     The mail system is basically functional and alpine and mailx are installed but most other mailers are not yet installed.  The pan news reader is installed, most others are not installed.
