Here are the two basic questions I have before I go spend money on plan9.
(Well, ok, so I know I'm going to spend money, I just don't know if I
can do it now, or will have to wait a couple of months.)

Here goes:

1. Does plan9 run on DecStation 2100s?  DecStation 2100s are little endian
  machines on a mips chip.   I've read the docs and it says there is
  only support for big endian machines.  Is this the truth and gospel or
  out of date docs?

2. Is it possible to run plan9 on a single standalone PC?  (I'd be willing
   to take the performance hit to get it up and running - 
   (I would be thinking of getting it up and running so that I could 
    get it to run on some of my other machines.)  Obviously the strength
    of plan9 is its network capability - the hump I'm faced with is
    the hump of getting it up and running without totally wrecking
    all the other little beasties in my apartment. 
    (if it were possible, I'd go buy a brand spanking new PC to run
       the thing on.)
