Hello I'm glad plan9 works fine in a lot of virtual machines (thanks for it). And you can run plan9 on recent machines too, plan9 and 9atom have worked for me quite well with my Intel Core i7-920 computer.
Also, we all like to rule the world with a couple of emails. I could email Mr. Carmack to port Doom IV to plan9, but that will not work, unfortunately XD. If you want a fix for the wiki, you know where's the source. That's the plan9 way afaict. If you want your change into the distribution...that's another story :) slds. gabi On Mon, Jun 6, 2011 at 3:36 PM, Jack Norton <j...@0x6a.com> wrote: > Balwinder S Dheeman wrote: > >> On 06/05/2011 11:51 AM, Josh Marshall wrote: >> >>> I'm chugging through the resources, reading, and documentation.
