Some people would like to, but to my knowledge fourth edition hasn't
been ported to any other platforms.
Plan 9 has always run on multiple architectures,
and the fourth edition is no different. ls /sys/src/9
will show you that there are ports to the Alpha PC (alphapc)
the HP iPaq (bitsy), and

I mostly get to my Plan 9 cpu servers via drawterm from
my OS X laptop these days (9vx soon, once I get a
comfortable environment there). I have a script that
calls drawterm with the right arguments. I just added
this to the script:
mkfifo /tmp/open.fifo
while () {open `{cat
I'd like to ask a question, but before I do, feel I should say, I've
been on this list long enough to understand that Plan 9 is a research
vessel, not an OS that's targeted at commercial deployment...

i added /dev/showfile for windows a while back. in that case, dt

Not at all. Just meant that one doesn't run their company's Oracle database on
it.
Not because it's not worthy of doing so, but such things just aren't compiled
for it.

How do you remove a file with corrupted meta data?
I was in 9vx and trying to recompile a kernel so
I could get a boot file with the local method
and it locked. After I killed 9vx and started it
up again, I can't mk because main.8 has corrupted
meta data. check in fossilcons reports it, but

cp /sys/lib/kbmap/uk /n/9fat
try again with kbmap=uk and reboot.

I think you need to add the map to the kernel, as a root file so that
boot could find it before reaching the file server.

Has anyone gotten Nt to read/write from Venti on a Plan 9 or Linux system?
I figure one could set up something with SAMBA, but there's no native 9p for
Nt, right?

Perhaps related: fossilcons(8), talking about stat, says:

Has anything ever been done with this, or is this support still
theoretical?
