Re: [9fans] Kabini or Raspberry Pi?
if anyone has any information on Plan 9 and Xen, that would be most welcome too. http://www.plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/installing_in_Xen_3.0 This is a paravirtualised kernel which runs on xen; I've used it on an AWS server with reasonable success. With modern intel hardware, it's also possible to run normal native plan 9 on Xen. for my Plan9 CPU/Auth/File server. Another candidate is raspberry pi. The pi makes an excellent terminal but I wouldn't use one as a file server. The only way to attach a local disk is via usb, and the usb interface is not the strongest point of the Broadcom SoC. It will be slow and probably unreliable.
Re: [9fans] Kabini or Raspberry Pi?
Been running 9front on kvm lately, and it has even better uptime than my linux vservers. What's the advantage for you guys to use XEN as apposed to kvm/qemu?
Re: [9fans] Kabini or Raspberry Pi?
I agree with miller about rpi USB and thus ethernet being kind limited in usefulness. The kirkwood though is a good basis for non-terminals. Even USB disks aren't *that* slow in my experience (10M/s).

ICH9R should be supported, but the sdiahci driver is not present in the installation kernel (pcflop) from the Bell Labs CD image. You may try this image, which is not ideal, but has the merit to include the sdiahci driver in the pcflop kernel. http://9legacy.org/download/9spirit.iso.bz2 -- David du Colombier

Re: [9fans] Kabini or Raspberry Pi?
i have put some instructions together -- from Richard's 9fans posts and email correspondences -- on how to install your own kernel once you've made an instance using the AMI that Richard posted. keep in mind that this assumes you have a Plan 9 dev environment and you're generating the kernel in that environment. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Drn3lm0g7C2zdzOj5x9hvhgVln13JoSx-zs_z1KEztI -Skip On Tue, Jul 1, 2014 at 12:37 PM, Richard Miller 9f...@hamnavoe.com wrote: What's the advantage for you guys to use XEN as apposed to kvm/qemu? http://thecloudmarket.com/image/ami-cfa332ff--plan9-fossil
