Good point, thank you. The reason I keep talking about the RPi
is that I know it's (mostly) supported and I can buy it from a reseller
that I (mostly) trust. :)
I was looking at putting together a system for a file server, and I've
come to the conclusion that I'll have to build it myself, based o
I'm seeing that the PI is getting lot's of attention here on 9fans.
I use a Fujitsu thin client as terminal. These (and other vendors) can
be bought on ebay extremly cheaply (half the price of a PI or cheaper),
have nice case, Gigabit ethernet, enough USB ports, decent cpu power,
replaceable and u
Funny you mention that - my terminal downstairs is exactly that. It's
an rpi in a VESA enclosure mounted to the back of a lenovo monitor.
Highly recommended!

Ah, that's too bad. I suppose there's nothing to prevent
someone from getting a VESA mount enclosure and
just bolting onto the back of a monitor of their choice,
but it'd have been kind of neat to just buy a monitor
w/ rpi like you can pick up an imac. :)

Actually it's a rpi compute module (not a pi3) - for more accurate
description see

The displays are 40 - 98 inch so probably not what you want on your desk.
Whether plan 9 could run on it depends on NEC documenting the
peripheral
Interesting, I wonder if this could let someone use one
as a plan 9 terminal:
