Raspberry Pi with an Ethernet cable (unfortunately there's no wireless
yet AFAIK).
Both the Plan9 and the 9Front file systems have their issues, though, so
back up periodically:
- Plan9: don't enable periodic snapshots in Fossil to avoid it getting
corrupt
- 9Front: comes with the experimental hjfs by default, which got corrupt
sooner or later on my setup
Both distributions come as a small (2GB) runnable image.
There is no installer yet, so it is hard to change the file system.
What I did:
Boot Richard Miller's Plan9 SD card (2GB image) on a Raspberry Pi.
Used an USB-to-SD adapter and the clone script from an earlier post of
mine to install the system on a *larger* SD card.
Boot the large SD card, happy.
The said images are terminal servers.
If you manage to convert the terminal server into a CPU server (easy,
see Wiki), you'll be able to connect from Unix using drawterm.
Cheers,
Dante

i have been trying to get plan9 running on my latest and greatest
hp-aio.
failed, even while trying out 9front.
would there be some way to determine an ideal configuration for a
machine
to used solely for plan9 experimentation?
also, based on what ever i have read, plan9 seems most at home with a
set
of machines in some kind of client-server mode. if this is true, may i
know an ideal setup?
thanks.
