Hello

I've had difficulty installing the vanilla Plan9 from Bell Labs in
VirtualBox / QEMU, and now I am going to try one of the forks, 9atom
or 9Front, which both seem to have more hardware support / software.

However, the descriptions on their homepages are brief; could
someone please point out some of the differences between them /
strengths and weaknesses?

Thanks!  Kyle
