Is there a usable version of plan9 we can install?

  Couple of options: Raspberry Pi, or virtualisation. 9front say to avoid virtualbox, but it works. Here's a tutorial, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5XAhsHyqow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5XAhsHyqow

    Qemu is a thousand times better if your OS has KVM support. Especially for running terminals since the only files you'll need are plan9.ini (a short text file) and 9pcf (the terminal kernel). You don't even have to set up a disk image, it just mounts root from your file server and you have everything ready to go!

    http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sources/contrib/miller/9pi.img.gz http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sources/contrib/miller/9pi.img.gz Is the image for the Rasperry Pi. Is said to be working with Pi 0/1/2. Has be a quite frustrating experience for me. I recommend to run it on qemu or virtual box. 9vx is the coolest way to run plan 9 (it's thin virtualisation layer that allows access to the host) but it does not seem to work 9front.

  9front runs on virtual machine and on hardware just fine.
