Replying to an old post here, but I'd like to chime in that the x300
is a beautiful laptop for running Plan 9; I just installed on
one. Pity it's going to be a cpu/auth server, because it's great
hardware that makes a sweet terminal. Wireless is your own problem,
though. What would it take to get
writing usb drivers is easy.

Is this the latest virtualbox?
Yes, the non-free oracle version with usb extension pack.

Based on 9fans' suggestions, I got an IBM T23.
This machine is great, both for plan9 and generally.
T23 (and other thinkpads from its era) also has the most
plan9-friendly input devices I've seen. I can perform all the chords

Of course you don't get wifi with T23, you probably need to get a
supported pcmcia card.
Most ThinkPad T23 (included mine) were sold with a
WaveLAN mini-PCI card [1].
So, yes, you can have WiFi.
However, if I recall correctly, these WaveLAN aren't
the newer ones which support WEP. So you can

What about graphics and wifi? What resolution and color depth are you able to
run in?
Native 1440x900
Does it have to be a notebook?
Quite some disk controllers and NICs are supported, but don't expect
long battery life, i.e. support for acpi/powersaving features on these
modern laptops.

What do you mean? Linux support sucks, but after some days of hackery
most of your devices will get recognized, no?

You can't even do that with UNIX these days :-p

Oh, so I just was unlucky. Sorry for the confusion.
Hello,

Does such a thing exists? :)
Thanks

Check the wiki page 'supported hardware.' There's at least one thinkpad on
the list.

I find my 600e to be very fast with Plan 9.

My dell inspiron 1000 works fairly well with plan 9, too. The ethernet
device doesn't work (there is a driver for it, there's some niggle with the
card, I suppose). Usb works, video works, sound doesn't, however. The sound
card is some intel card (intel-8x0 driver on lunix).
