Subject: [9fans] The $200 walmart "gPC"
Date: Thu, 31 Jan 2008 21:33:49 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <13426df10801312133oab13c2at147e1bd21e4e1576@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
seems to run Plan 9 right out of the box. It's an rtl8139, the
graphics work, I am going to transplant the drives to it tomorrow and
see if it all continues to "just work". But the Plan 9 install CD
booted and ran just fine. Seems like a nice fast little machine for
Plan 9. Of course, Plan 9 has graphics up and running before the
delivered OS can get to the point of saying "what language do you
tawk" but that's to be expected.
Nice, I thought I was going to have to host plan 9 under a VM, but it
appears I can just run it.
I did have to make one improvement, however: I had to take a
screwdrive and slash it through the "touch this sticker and void your
warranty" stickers. Standards must, after all, be upheld.
Anybody want a "google desktop" cd :-)
