Hey Bob,
Let me know how you make out with ZITI::. I have a system running Ubuntu
20.04.1 LTS (which hosts VENTI2::), but I have been holding off
upgrading it until I get a backup solution up. I've looked around and
have converged on UrBackup. It bought a 6 TB disk, so maybe I'll get
that done this weekend.
I also have an archaic laptop running CentOS 6.10 which hosts TOMMYT::
I guess that's out of the question? I also have to get the back up on
that going. I've been thinking of punting it for an itty bitty PC; I've
seen them going for about $70.
And I suppose I can forget about anything on Mac OS X?
That's unfortunate that nobody wanted the job to maintain things, but I
am regrettably surprised. The level of talent to do operating systems
development like that is high and I would imagine it would take a fair
amount of hours if you want to fully test and productize the result.
Unless you threaten to pay them, people of that caliber are difficult to
consistently engage.

Yeah, that's
been coming for a while. DECnet support is already a separate, loadable kernel module,
but things in the kernel change all the time (and sometimes gratuitously, I think).
Without somebody keeping the DECnet module up to date, it would quit working in short
order. Nobody wanted the job.
ZITI runs Ubuntu 16.04 LTS with ESM and it's a fairly old kernel - 4.4 something.
Looking thru my notes it seems like I tried to run John's Raspbian build on it before,
in the summer of 2020, and ran into a few problems. I'll pull the latest version over
the holiday and try it again.
Bob
