[cod] Running CoD and UO Servers on same box

[Travis P. Walter]

Do you mean compiling and installing certain programs with Portage?

You shouldn't normally need to compile anything for the actual games.

Another cool thing about Gentoo.
You can actually install a game server from the portage tree itself.
I usually don't do this though because it's not always the most current
version.

If you're ever on a Gentoo box try something like.
ls -l /usr/portage/games-server
