[9fans] 9vx is really excellent, link it on the bell-labs pages?

2009-09-30 Thread Sam Watkins
I just installed 9vx under Linux on my eee pc, it's a delight to be able to run 2 or 3 instances of plan 9 with no bother under Linux! I can't really run Plan 9 as my main OS at the moment, but it seems there's not a big performance hit to run it in 9vx. I want to say thanks! to Russ for

I think it's officially a port of Plan 9's kernel to the vx32 stuff, so it's not precisely the same as running a Plan 9 box natively, or in another emulator, but it is indeed quite a feat, and close enough that most people won't notice. Personally, I'd love to be able to completely replace

I think we owe the vx32/9vx guys some help here. So here's the question. 9vx is running. It breaks. How should we go about providing - useful diagnosis - useful backtracking There are some tools. Worst case, those of us who see it die from time to time could elect to run it under gdb for a
