Thanks for these details.
For the sake of further exploration, is there a Linux command that will
share all the packages currently in use on a server?
I have entirely too many things I do professionally with my email,
including filtering items into folders to use anything like fastmail.
I do currently ssh into other shells as I said, but must visit shellworld
first to do this much.
Still, if creating shellworld 2 might be possible even on a dedicated
machine, it might be worth exploring.
I have 54 gig of data in my main shellworld account alone, 6 gig for my
personal website..cannot imagine another shared hosting service giving me
that kind of room, but might be wrong.

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.
