Hello.
I have just upgraded my server PC from Win7 to Win10 home. JoinFS is running just fine on window 10 home, but I also run a application of FSHost.
After the upgrade to windows 10, my members and I are having massive security issues with window. Even though I have the ports forwarded through the router, windows firewall and the antivirus no one can find the FSHost application.
At this point I thinking about going to Linux, so is my question concerning JoinFS on Linux is, what version of Linux would work the best and what would I need for JoinFS?
Thank you for the help,
FSV1142 Kenny
Running JoinFS on Linux
Re: Running JoinFS on Linux
Hi Kenny.
Linux is brilliant in my opinion.
No bloatware that you now get with win10 and it's so configurable (if you know how).
If I was somebody wanting to start out with linux for the first time I would start with Ubuntu.
The only reason being is that has the most help available online, IMO.
That said all linux flavours work near enough the same way.
I run something called CENTOS for my servers, Kubuntu (Ubuntu with the KDE desktop) on my laptop, debian on another laptop and have 3 raspberry pis running raspbian.
To get JoinFS up and running you'll need the following.
1. Install the linux distro of your choice.
2. Install a program called wine.
3. Install the Xpack Simconnect using wine.
4. Install JoinFS using wine.
You may also need to install a dotnet redistribution package using wine, I cant remember.
To install wine using ubuntu..
Open a terminal and type sudo apt-get install wine.
If you want to try everything before installing on a HDD write ubuntu to a usb stick and run it from the usb stick.
No changes are then made to your HDD unless you choose too.

Thanks for the reply Roo!
I was looking at Linux Mint. How would I go about installing Linux over Windows?

Re: Running JoinFS on Linux
Mint is also a good one as it's based on Ubuntu.

1. Download the mint iso
2. Download etcher.
3. Use etcher to put the iso on to a usb stick.
4. Boot your PC from usb and give mint a whirl.
If you like it then you can click install from the usb.
