I remember in my early retun-to-BBSing days, I was running Mystic on Pi
and when i realized it'd be difficult (but not technically impossible) to
run DOS doors, I was bummed. 

Door servers were the answer then and now, but it's also cool that new-ish
Dosbox variants (X, Staging) support SHARE and run headless on linux..
QEMU as well, but that's got its own foibles...

But I digress! GD2 is one of the great modern doors IMHO and I was/am
stoked to have games that run natively on linux.
