Hello,
I've been looking for information about how to set up a small Plan 9
system, but all the documents I've found (not so many, actually), only
discuss the two cases 1) installing Plan 9 on a single computer, and 2)
installing on many computers (at least three: terminal+cpu server+file
server).
Since I happen to have exactly two computers available, I was thinking
about the possibility to use both for Plan 9. Actually, I would like one
of them to run Plan 9 24 hours a day, and the other one to act as a
terminal, to be rebooted sometimes to run OS/2.
So, my question is: can I use the 24-hours-a-day-running-plan-9-computer
as both a cpu and file server at the same time? I guess not. If I'm right
here, would it be possible to run a system without a file server? (Putting
a central hard disk on the CPU server, and ignoring the security imposed by
the file server?)
I really think it would be a lot more fun to have a small Plan 9 network to
play with than a stand-alone plan 9 machine only. On the other hand, I can't
afford three machines...
Thanks for any suggestions / pointers to information!
Staffan
