Hmmm, port Plan 9 to L4, run side by side with L4 Linux?

Why not just run Plan 9 as the guest for that matter.  I do that with
parallels.  It's no worse than using VNC to alleviate the pain of not
having a web browser is it?  Except I don't need VNC to do the work.

I think I'd be happy with this.  I don't see any compelling reasons
these days to load Plan 9 anywhere but in a virtualized environment
really (for my use).

Ron has a very specific need and I wish him luck.
