you'll have your work cut out: the current version
of the system has not (to my knowledge) been ported
to a Sun, and the older versions didn't run on an Ultra.
in short, i think you'd need to do the port!
it might be a good introduction to many aspects of the
system, but it is probably more than you were seeking!

Hi,

I'm planning to set up a network at home and was wondering if it is
easy to set up a Sun server as a Plan 9 file server machine? The specs
are:

Sun E150
167MHz Ultra 1 processor, 512KB Cache
256MB RAM (all Sun)
1 x Builtin 10BaseT ethernet
2 x Sun SWIFT 10-100BaseT ethernet/Fast Wide SCSI-2 SBus card
1 x Sun 2GB 7200rpm UltraScsi system disk
and some Sun 4GB 7200rpm UltraScsi internal disks

Since I've never seriously played with a Sun box, I'm slightly wary
of just jumping in.

Thanks for any insight,
Robby
