Probably the newbie guide can help you:

www.quanstro.net/newbie-guide.pdf

And the nemo's intro guide:

http://lsub.org/who/nemo/9.intro.pdf

On the other hand, searching in google "Plan 9 OS" the first link is:

http://plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9/

...

slds.

And, if your hardware won't work, i really strongly recommend you look at 9vx.

http://swtch.com/9vx/

Those of you who say TVX at IWP9 last month: on a recent trip to
tahiti I took a diskless laptop (T23, disk removed) and TVX was really
very usable on that 8-year-old, small machine, where ubuntu was quite
unusable. The more I use TVX  the more I find it quite nice as a "Plan
9 on a hardware platform that is unfriendly to Plan 9" system.

For those of us who didn't see TVX, what's TVX? :-)

I'll put up a youtube movie in the next while, but there is a video of
iwp9 I think on the subject.

And for those of us using only Plan9 to troll the Interweeb, isn't there
a one paragraph text summary someplace?

Sorry.

It is a tinycorelinux USB stick somewhat (but not much!) customized
with a 9vx installation. It runs really well on old, small systems and
really fast on new ones. I included 9vx, the vx32 mercurial tree, and
mercurial and gcc toolchain so you can update 9vx, hack the source,
and build a new 9vx kernel. Thus, you've got a small (well, < 1G
anyway; a cheap USB stick nowadays) image that gives you a full Plan 9
environment but works on almost any hardware.

I've had some odd troubles in the past getting 9vx to behave in all the same
ways as a regular Plan 9 machine, but then I think most of those had been
addressed on 9fans at some point.  Seemed like some of them were around
networking and such.

[Anthony Sorace]

the most notable differences are that (by default) the network stack
is very stripped down and the file system goes through a special
pass-through driver (#Z) rather than fossil or whatnot. there are
patches to change both behaviors (use a tun device to allocate a
virtual interface to 9vx; use raw disks and run fossil), but afaik
neither is in the mainline branch.

Thx, got it.

i believe devon and i did networking on top of pcap, not tun.
