Plan 9 is not so tightly coupled to its graphics that things aren't
possible in command line mode.  Ed is a tad harsh, but usable to
modify small files (and big ones, I haste to add).  Compiling and
linking are all command line oriented.  It helps to be familiar with
the directory hierarchy.

I think it is possible to install manually, but the instructions could
be daunting.  Russ Cox is the best instructor, in that case.
