The problem wasn't Linux; it was the fact that I was changing several
things at once, and when it didn't work, it was hard to figure out just where
the problem was. I was also using several programs that were over 3 years old,
since they were still working fine, and I have better things to do than tinker
with my server all the time.
The reason that the regular list worked and the tech list didn't was
that there are several custom programs I wrote to do the filtering magic, and
they relied on several external programs, one of which changed a setting name
going from the old version I was using to the new version. In Windows, the
equivalent would be calling a procedure in a DLL whose parameters changed from
one version to the next.
