What are your opinions on this distro? I am thinking about^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
changing my server machine over to some flavor of Linux but
I am a beginner using it.

Very destructive suggestion, I'd say...
However, I really like the idiots who use these toy systems.
For fidonet stuff you may need to compile your own software.

Everything else (that means, golded or other your favourite editor)
may be built with one single command.
one single command
pure Debian has too much screwed up due to that DFSG BS...

I've got
Golded latest release LNX 1.1.5-b20160322
NONE of this builds with one single command! I've got the logs to
prove it! Hell Husky can't even provide the CORRECT instructions for
their OWN SOFTWARE! Then there is the fact there is very little info
on how to set the stuff up in ENGLISH.

When you say "server" what is YOUR use of this server?
As you can see in my tearline, you're not using Golded's "latest
release". Or was this the last version that included pre-compiled binaries?
For one, the instructions are indeed there, although maybe not spelled
out for someone like you that likes to complain about every little
detail. From the INSTALL file in /opt/husky/huskybse:
Seems pretty straight forward to me, even if they couldn't speak very
good english. *shrug*
As for the one single command,
1) Download sources
2) run "make && make install"
Is all I had to do. Sorry you had so many problems.

You can refer to another thread in another echo, where Alan Ianson
listed the CORRECT steps to compile this.. and THOSE AINT THEM!
Period.
There is some lib or something that this other stuff depends on that
has to be compiled first.. I forget which one.. and I am not looking
it up. I am not using Husky stuff. Crashmail works great when you use
-m32 on 64b systems. Plus there is at least some what some sort of documentation in some reasonably comprehensible form, verus Huskys
void of same.
If you are goig to release software that you only realease in source
to the public then it is INCUMBENT on Y-O-U the releaser to provide
FULL AND COMPLETE WORKING INSTRUCTIONS... If those instructions differ from distro to distro, then I would suggest that you provide it in DEB
or RPM format for easier install or you detail to the last dot what to do... All too often all you get is what you list below... and that is often NOT the required steps or requirements.
As for the one single command,
1) Download sources
2) run "make && make install"

When I find ONE program that does that, AND WORKS, I'll let you know.. Till then... Please don't regurgitate this spiel when its not correct.
This is way tangential to the discussion at hand, and we are not going
to agree... Enjoy your future endeavours!
I am a beginner using it.^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Then you'd rather choose something more popular. https://spins.fedoraproject.org/xfce/download/ could be a good start.
Also, you may like to try it on a workstation first.

Has anyone been able to get this to compile on the Pi? I've tried
several times and there are so many errors it's hard to tell at what
point the compiler breaks lol

I'm writing this message to you now from Golded+ on the pi. Just remember to go into the golded3 folder and edit the mygolded.__h and rename it to mygolded.h After that, compile away.
I did all that.. I followed every instruction to the letter.. I can usually trouble shoot why something breaks when it compiles but when
it comes down to code base errors I'm useless. I haven't written a
line of code in over 25 years.
what I am finding a lot with older code is the usage of strcpy() being
out of date and wanting to use strlcpy() which uses 3 arguments
instead of 2

Do you have ncurses installed on your Pi? I do know that's definitely a prerequisite. There may be others as well, which I'm sure can be found somewhere in the Golded docs.
What version of gcc are you using on the Pi? Here I believe I'm using gcc-6.2.1, which is a fairly new version, iirc.

I have pretty much every library installed with the development
package to go with. It doesn't break with a linker error.. that is
easy to fix to figure out which -lxxxx lib is missing
using gcc-6.2.1, which is a fairly new version, iirc.

May have to ask others who have compiled it with the same version of
gcc. Debian tends to stick with older packages, but that may pose a
I think then we may need a paste of the specific error you get when
trying to compile Golded.
First off, did you traverse into the source directory and edit/rename golded.__h or whatever it is to golded.h? If so, we need more specifics.
It compiled fine on my i686 ArchLinux
