I wouldn't know there, that would definitely be beyond my expertise.

I suppose maybe Blah could be replaced with an Eggdrop bot, but that too is outside my realm of knowledge.

All I've used is the Windows software. That software is stable, the bot is stable. Generally speaking, it really shouldn't take that much more time than you're already spending in the room to run it.
