Hi,
After a number of months of lurking on this list, I've finally gotten
a computer set up to be a dedicated Plan 9 installation (as part of a
grid, of course).
At this point, I need to choose between vanilla Plan 9 or one of the
flavors (9front or 9atom). I have read the "9front vs. 9atom" thread;
prevailing wisdom seems to say to go with 9atom unless you need the
hardware support of 9front - please correct me if this is wrong.
That being said, the thread didn't talk about the vanilla Plan 9
distribution from Bell Labs. The computer I'm installing it on is ~15
years old, so I doubt it will have all that many hardware support
issues. Basically, would you guys recommend I try the Bell Labs
distribution of Plan 9, 9front, or 9atom as my first installation?
I've also done a cursory search of the list archives without finding
anything; if this has been covered before, please accept my apologies.
Thanks for your time,
Alex Jordan
