For this system to work, your VPS also needs to be plan 9 based, because you need the /net filesystem. Theoretically you can replicate that filesystem on a Linux machine, but the software to do that doesn't exist natively (might be possible via inferno, but I won't recommend it, especially plan 9 works quite reliably on a VPS). > is kvm necessary? KVM is just what I know works most reliably. Most VPS providers we have good experience with use kvm and also qemu with kvm is battle-tested. Other technologies might work too. > thank you for your correspondance. i’m obviously very nooby as far as the > networking goes, but i’m reading cat-v, FQA and 9p wiki every day. Thing with plan 9 is, reading and learning the theory is great and necessary, especially for preparing everything. At some point you have to use it, ideally as much as possible. > i’ve already written an rss feed aggregator in rc, which was fun and easy. 9fs net!sirjofri.de!333 /n/news bind -a /n/news/<channel> /lib/news news (This is what I provide using rssfill, if you want to try it.

No. (To stay in humor.) Mail works, server is reliable. I also wrote a few blog posts about how I configured it.
