Topicbox-Message-UUID: 75af2c10-ead2-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025 i'd like to build a machine to handle plan 9 as my primary operating system. i wouldn't even have a problem converting my windows machine... i became interested in plan 9 while doing research last year for the company i worked for at the time. here are the things that i find necessary in a computer in 2007: -a jukebox for my cds -a notepad for writing -a space to orgainize and distribute photos -a browser that supports ajax--so i could use google for my email and apps that's about it for me. my question is this: is there a certain set of programs that i could assemble to allow a plan 9 machine to perform these functions? and, if so, is plan 9 a disaster to get installed and configured on a pc? thank your for your time...
