Your quite right, I wouldn't switch to 9front for that reason, but is nice that 9front does have more secure protocols in place. I stuck with bell labs because the RPI iso was right there I wanted to see the OS from the beginning. Its also why I have the bootable 9legacy USB for my old desktop, but

fyi, mothra isn't really *better* than abaco, both support only a small subset of websites, and not exactly the same subset. that's not the reason to switch to 9front ;) on 9front we use rcpu and rimport on ball-labs you can only use the insecure cpu and import commands. but if you had a central

Nice! I'm still understanding how to use the OS. I can't even get on the web as its complaining about DNS servers in abaco (I know mothra is preferred but I'm using bell labs plan 9). I need to understand how I can get two plan 9 systems to talk to each other, and then able to mount the fs system o

I went all in on my first foray, and set up discrete fs + auth + cpu + terms, it was fun but wholly unnecessary. Eventually I settled into fs/auth on one, and a cpu server on the side with drawterm/terms. This was all 9front, which has some niceties for networked setups, including cpu listeners

Thank you to both of you for the responses. I guess getting deep into the man pages is how I'll have to go about running things. I'm actually considering taking the OS off my pi, and loading it onto the desktop I have as a CPU/file server. I can get legacy9 to boot on it, I just need to figure out
