Well Karen-and-All, Many of you are quite familliar with my road. I came
kicking-and-screaming from DOS2windows, slowly in 2003 Linux, but with horrible
DeC PC drivers in Speakup. Eventually in 2006 got rid of windows all2gether.
All along since 1995 I had Unix shell-accounts, Netcom, REXX, PrimeNet, and
Shellworld, where I hosted my web-site as well. In May of 2020 we almost lost
Shellworld forever, so after at least 3 days of no e-mail, with a big help of a
dear friend, I switched my domain to Fastmail. Unfortunately their interface
does not work in a console setup nor without javascript. After awhile they
blocked traditional ftp access. I found ncftp as an easiest client, but now
must use web-dav which has many fewer options. As far as your exact question,
as you see I am not hosting my web-site nor e-mail locally, however, we use
exim4 to grab mail from FastMail to my local machine. In addition, I have a
laptop also running Debian SID with a quite new Zabbly kernel. The laptop has
graphical so I can login to hotels when we travel. Eventually would like to put
graphical on my main machine so I can go to Zoom meetings. Wish there were
either a menu-driven or commandline Zoom client. Along the way, while I've been
in Linux nearly 21years, I almost still feel like a beginner, but still
sometimes when I atten a Linux LUG, I can still help some1 else. Also,
certainly folks there are still somewhat baffled how I use a computer while
totally blind.
I also have a MAC which I know little about, but took a class. I have a
Chromebook, but the Chromevox screen-reaeer is much less easty to use than
something like Speakup. I hope those details will provide some prospective.
