Re: [9fans] For the more esoteric mind...
Hi Shane, I did some off-the-wall promotional posters a while back. They can be found here: http://pdf.multics.org/Propaganda/ They might need some adjustment for A4 stock—since they are all designed to be printed with an edge-bleed. I also did the `time tunnel’ logo; I’ve been meaning to post a highly-tunned final version and some variations, but got side-tracked with a rather demanding PhD. I should really just stop making excuses and finish it. So there is no real final version of that yet—though the version I posted is so close to finished that it probably does not make any difference, so feel free to use that (I tend to let the perfect be the enemy of the good all too often).

I was thinking of getting the immortal IWP9 4e Submit poster printed on glossy paper at about A3 size, and mounting it on my wall, and possibly the Time Tunnel logo in the PDF that floated through the group earlier in the year. However, if anyone has any promotional material they have obtained, and willing to part with, or otherwise had produced themselves, and are willing to part with, I'd be most interested. I wonder what the Newcastle Uni CompSci people are going to think of my inane Plan 9 ramblings... perhaps these posters will persuade them, I am the real deal... Many thanks! Shane.

Re: [9fans] Update Raspberry Pi Steps (Wiki Confusion)
Due to the recent addition of the nsec() syscall make sure you update the kernel first Or just grab a new 9pi kernel from /n/sources/contrib/miller, which I've now updated with the new syscall. 9pi.img.gz has also been brought up to date and contains the latest Broadcom firmware files.

Yes, I've seen the 9front propaganda pictures - particularly love the German Engineering pics! On Tue, Jul 1, 2014 at 5:05 AM, s...@9front.org wrote: Feel free to borrow any of the images from here: http://9front.org/propaganda/ sl

[9fans] Kabini or Raspberry Pi?
After I retired job (strictory semi-retired) I'm now running Plan9 only in my house. Now, I'm hesitating to setup a C2D machine as CPU/Auth/File server machine.It eats high level of power. Here in Japan, all the atomic power facilities is stopping. In personal house, high performance is not so neccessary, because most of the work will be done in terminals these days. However, drawterm looks like very attractive for such purpose. Then, CPU server is neccessary which is running all the day. I found AMD Kabini based onboard energy save motherboard called A68N-5000(Biostar), which looks like very attractive for my Plan9 CPU/Auth/File server. Another candidate is raspberry pi. However, I wonder it has such as mini-ITX case and power? How do you think about this? Kenji
Re: [9fans] Kabini or Raspberry Pi?
Hi Kenji, I can't vouch for the driver support of such a motherboard, thats best left to others. I must say, that is a nice looking motherboard, and I for one would be most curious if you were to get it working. Another alternative, that I am looking into with NUCs is perhaps a Xen server, again, better left to others to tell you the support, but at the risk of hijacking the thread (please fork it if you have info on Xen) if anyone has any information on Plan 9 and Xen, that would be most welcome too. Good luck with the venture and your retirement, and interesting news to hear the atomic power facilities are curtailing in your part of the world. We should talk about this in future, privately. Many thanks! Shane. On Tue, Jul 1, 2014 at 10:28 AM, kokam...@hera.eonet.ne.jp wrote: After I retired job (strictory semi-retired) I'm now running Plan9 only in my house.

Oh, and the RaspberryPi Mini ITX case - well, motherboard, see here: http://www.geekroo.com/products/795 Enjoy!

[9fans] Web browser on Raspberry Pi
Is it possible to get monthra or abaco running on Plan 9 on Raspberry Pi? I have the internet working (I can access the wiki) but I'm not sure how to get the source for either on to the SD card and compile it. Any help would be appreciated.
Re: [9fans] Web browser on Raspberry Pi
Hello Brian, Are you running Miller's 9pi image? If you are it should come with abaco pre-installed, all you have to do is run webcookies, then webfs, and then run abaco.
