    Despite the challenge of keeping old hardware running, OS/2 would probably prefer older hardware. OS/2 has been updated, there's a
    version called eCOmstation and later Arca Noae (sp?) that support
    modern CPUs, USB and more.

    I want to go retro, I think OS/2 would be ideal to run a bbs on. Linux scares me. I know Linux
    is a better choice in the long run, but I am too lazy to run it.

    I would absolutely run it in a vitual machine.

    Retro is cool, reasons I'm interested in the Amiga...

    But to be honest, learning linux will serve you much better moving forward into the future.
