Thanks, I thing it is great to have vesa in the standard iso. Newcomers like
me to plan 9 will apreciate very much being able to use rio from the
begining. I like plan 9's window system, it is simple, small and elegant and
give you the general feeling and philosophy of plan 9 at first sight. It is
a very good welcome for new users looking to experiment and try plan 9. Some
years ago I tried plan 9 for the first time, but there was no way to get
graphics working so I gave it a time, now I can start experimenting again
and having used the system for some days and can say I am pleased.
