Alright, fellas. Time for more dumb questions(and dumb
answers?) from me. I want a plan 9 network(cpu/auth,
fs, term) i have 3 computers. That's where the easy
part stops. Currently I like plan 9 as it runs on my
ibm t20 laptop, but I don't have enough space for
venti. The other computers are a Sparcstation 10 and a
ps2 with the linux kit. Therefore:
1) What exactly is the Sun sources on extra
software.(all the neccessary kernel source files
concatenated? what's the garbage between each file?)
1a) Does anybody have a copy of the full 2ed, or
what's the quickest way to get something resembling
plan 9 on the sparc.
2) Can inferno serve venti? that is, how am i to best
use the ps2(with its 40gb hdd). 
4) should i give up and install openbsd/linux on
everything, leave the list and be perfectly(?) happy
using second-grade os's. 

Ok, that said, what books should I read to stop
bothering all of you/if you help me out now, I may be
able to contribute something in the future. maybe.
Once again, thanks.
-dave
