Subject: [9fans] Planning a two-machine heterogeneous LAN

Message-ID: <1152468957.4819@noo> (raw)

Using Firefox has its irritations, but it is _more_ irritating to
use Firefox via VNC from a Plan 9 terminal than to use it on the
Linux box on which the Firefox is running.

Likewise, using a Plan 9 cpu server via Drawterm running on Linux
is _more_ irritating than using the same cpu server as a Plan 9
terminal.

My question is, which delta of irritation is greater: that of
having to use Plan 9 remotely from Drawterm _or_ that of having
to use one of the big, popular web browsers remotely (via VNC or
whatever the cool people are using to connect to Linux or
Windows) from a Plan 9 terminal?

Assume the Linux and the Plan 9 are connected via 100Mbs
ethernet.

The answer to the question will determine which
machine I hook my keyboard and mouse up to.
