Using a PC without a GUI is pretty non standard so that's one reason. You mentioned you only used VGA text mode, but what did you actually use it for? What apps did you use etc etc.

Is there any pictures of the device?

Does it support IRCv3?

IRC doesn't have chat history and a bunch of other features.

I was looking for a player that had this functionality when I switched to Linux. Finally settled on Clementine which has both a library & "file browser" mode.

In the browser mode you can just right click and add the folder to your playlist. Just like in foobar2000.

FreeIPA or OpenLDAP?

Cool aliens? Is this a reference to the Alien 5/Alien 17 theme?

How so? What would be the difference? Other than being unviable.

Any similar software on Linux?
