Well, Xubuntu is not bad. Are you planning to run a BBS along side with
actually using it as a desktop, or a dedicated BBS? If dedicated then I
wouldn't recommend it.
DOSEMU, if you plan to run doors on that, provided by Ubuntu's repos also has
some issues, so you would be better of personally compiling it yourself or
re-bundling a new deb package based on their repos, but with a newer version,
which fixes a lot of issues in things, along with speed, random wierdness,
extra random keystrokes, etc..
Really just overall depends on what you intend to do. I personally, have a VM
running my BBS, dedicated in that mannor.
