agreed, so long as you have to cross chip types. so i'd say it depends
what "newer" means in the initial question. parallels, which just has
to do the virtualization, not the chip emulation, runs Plan 9 quite
well. if you're going that route, you'll likely find better
performance on your mac than from your PII (depending on the specifics
of what you're doing).
i've been using Plan 9 in parallels for a while now, to see if it'll
hold up in exactly that sort of environment. it's been good so far.
biggest motivation for me was a desire to save the space and power
consumption of another server.
