Hi All, Am an operating system enthusiast & in the future intend to take part in OS development seriously.Also am always interested in works of Bell Labs.
I have an old laptop P2 266Mhz with 32 MB RAM & 4 GB HD .I want to just use it for OS testing & getting programming experience under different OS'es.Already I have a desktop with WinXp / Open Solaris b66 in dual mode. I would like to use Minix 3 or Plan 9 in my old laptop ( I dont wanna try Linux ) & preferably next choice will be freeBSD.Is it possible to install & use Plan 9 with Minix 3 in dual mode ??? or Plan 9 with Free BSD in dual ?????Any suggestions Plzz??? Or is it worth i run Plan 9 alone in that laptop??? ( Also am unsure whether Plan 9 will run in my laptop configuration,But surely i will try ) Also is there a good scope for programming environment in Plan 9 ?? I would be programming in C....Are there pre built compilers for C in Plan 9 that come with jus like Linux ?????
