I began running Synchronet under 64-bit Squeeze last year (inside VirtualBox on
a Mac). A couple months ago I updated to Wheezy.
Overall my experience has been good. Dosemu seems to run most of the doors I
have thrown at it, though I have run into trouble with some, notably TradeWars.
I finally found a version that would work, though. Admittedly, though, I have
not tried to install more than a dozen or so of the most popular DOS doors, so
my experience may be misleading.
