This post was written the day after it is dated, because I was too busy playing around in Underland with vailorn@sdf.org!
He installed Gentoo on a VirtualMachine in my Underland hypervisor, and we spent a good portion of the day configuring it together so that he could run his Java applications on it. Not much too interesting is going on yet, but we're going to be working on expanding his code so that multiple people can play his game via the internet. Once he is more comfortable with it, I look forward to trying to port it to C++ to be played here on SDF. But that's a post for another day :)
