[9fans] dilettant plan9 newbie trying to get started

[Bodó Abel]

Greetings,

As a university student of different sorts, a few months ago i found
myself in a situation, that involves garage-researching, and getting
things done i had no idea about before. I realised the best suiting OS
for my needs is most likely plan9. I'd really appreciate some help
with finding the (as i guess officially unpublished) version (or
versions) of plan9 that already has drivers for my specific hardware,
that includes the following:
- intel SE7505vb2 motherboard (integrated ethernet ports, SATA etc.)
- ibm x335 (default hdd backplane /hot swap/, ethernet ports, nvidia
quadro nvs280 (not integrated) )
- foxconn L S-36 (SATA, ethernet ports, etc.)


Thanks in advance, yours truly
Abel A. Bodó

ethernet should work.  i'm not sure about the sata.  early
intel sata was a problem.

- lsi 1068e sas not supported.
- tg3 ethernet not supported.

i don't know what this is.
