Can someone point me to instructions for installing phpBB and/or recommend a bulletin board system to run on Fedora?
TIA Fulko

I don't find any bulletin board software in the fedora repositories. So you would have to download the source from the above source repository, and build it locally, installing it in /usr/local.
Maybe my search fu is lacking, and someone else has an answer.

Everybody seems to be in love with on-line forums, these days, perhaps with an email interface (but often not). Maybe look at some of them, and see if any of them have an interface you don't mind.
It will depend on what you want out of a BBS. Notices to staff from high command (the local shops have some on display behind the cash registers which really ought to inspire some industrial action, the arrogance is astounding), or interactive discussions on various topics.
Going back 30 years ago, I ran Max's BBS on an Amiga. A BBS meant dial-up, local mail, some systems had inter-system mail, info pages, and file collections.
