It's complicated. The port of X11 that the article talks about is the one that's on the old Bell Labs web site[0], and it never really worked all that well for me. Linuxemu is something of a research project, and I don't recall it working all that well either. You can get a Unix-alike (e.g., OpenBSD) running under 9front's vmx(1), and that will get you access to X11, albeit not running natively atop a Plan 9 kernel, which is likely not what you're after. 0: http://9p.io/plan9/addons.html http://9p.io/plan9/addons.html
