Plan9's setup is becoming easier and easier. After I wrote a (very shabby)
HOWTO on installing plan9 without rio, they made a text-only install option.
Video cards support is growing and you no longer must have your specific
card's info as the first ctlr (which helps autodetect video cards if the
DID/VIDs and ROMline match).
So, yes, things are getting much better. Plan 9 is definitely worth the
small challenge of installation. In fact, it may make you a better hacker
for your buck ;) It did me...
