Date: Fri, 16 May 2003 18:05:06 +0200 Topicbox-Message-UUID: aec2dd5a-eacb-11e9-9e20-41e7f4b1d025 Has there ever been an attempt to provide free accounts on a Plan 9 network for people curious to "play" with it. I've found several Unix servers where free shell accounts are available (like m-net.arbornet.org). I wasn't able to locate something comparable for Plan 9. I would really like an open Plan 9 CPU server. Maybe I could even connect to it with drawterm or vnc because I would really like to learn programming for rio. How many graphical logins could a typical (perhaps 256M, 500 MHz, shared 155Mbit internet) cheap server provide? On m-net there are often 20 - 30 people logged in and all programs still work responsive (some people surve the web others read mails and many are idle - everything in com- mand line). Martin
