| Shoot! Would have been fun to create my block storage on an
| anarchy server and then fight to defend files in Minecraft.

| Once you can get Linux booting, you can start writing kernel

|
| Once that's all hooked up, you try compiling Java. Once Java

|
| It'd probably be terribly slow though, unless you made a
| redstone optimized CPU. Then you'd need to get Linux building
