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.
