> yes, they all suck. Try this: onesis.org Ok, it would be a load of work but has anyone tried building a linux filesystem on a plan9 server (/linux perhaps) and PXE booting a linux cpu server off it? Extrapolating you could even get the server to mount its root filesystem using v9fs rather than nfs.
It wouldn't buy you much, except a linux environment thats easier for plan9 users to manage and support. With a following wind you might even get cinap's rather amazing linuxemu to use it as a runtime environment (shared libraries etc). I suspose you could start going mad and build a special gethostbyname() for your linux environment which understands how to talk to /net/dns etc. sort of p9p upsidedown... just silly ideas which I should probably have kept to myself. -Steve
