Looks great so far. I can be your Linux gopherpig for testing it out on the Linux desktop. I use Linux both at home(Debian) and at work(RHEL6). My work actively uses Java for our Web development, so the JDK is naturally already installed. I currently use OverbiteFF on my desktop systems to browse and search gopherspace. > > Best Regards, > Kevin Veroneau > > Original Message > From:gopher4all@fastmail.com > Sent:January 4, 2016 7:50 PM > To:gopher-project@lists.alioth.debian.org > Subject:[gopher] New desktop GUI Gopher Client (Java) in development > > Hi all, > > I'm new here, this is my first post.
