however, and this is important, it is *very* *strongly* recommended that you learn to use the system without X11 first. X11 is not part of the distribution for a reason; that port is old and slow, and was never heavily used. no program in Plan 9 depends on, or even wants, X11 in any way. you will find it distracting and frustrating rather than helpful if you aren't familiar with "real" Plan 9 first, as you'll keep expecting things to be there which aren't.
And if someone really wants X11, it might be more sensible to port X.Org's kdrive using /dev/draw for framebuffer.... It might be easier than getting that old port to be usable with modern X11 apps :-) -- Paul Lasek
