I did this a few weeks ago on an OS X machine and it worked wonderfully. I installed it to give Sam a try, as I am learning Ed and wanted to compare them.
I had once hoped that Google would resurrect Plan 9, since they have so many former AT&T employees on staff. All it really needs it modern drivers, a wireless stack, and a browser (which they have with Chrome). Alas, it is not to be.
- stonogo 12y agoThere is a version of plan 9 with better drivers and wifi: https://code.google.com/p/plan9front/ https://code.google.com/p/plan9front/ I've never used it but I can't imagine it has a browser. The two surviving browser cores (webkit/blink and gecko) are both utter nightmares of C++ and/or XUL, neither of which has any runtime support on plan 9.
- vezzy-fnord 12y agoThere's two native browsers for Plan 9 and 9front: Mothra and Abaco. They're not modern, obviously. I think Links is able to work on it, too. That said, I think it was possible to run old versions of Firefox in Linuxemu.
