I use ( am using now) a pi for a plan9 terminal.

it is not very quick, I would not compile on it,
but then that is not what a terminal is for.

If you accept that it is only a terminal then it is superb.
It boots in 2 or 3 seconds and consumes 2 watts.

I use a standard dell keyboard and LCD display at 1920x1600.
I made a special effort to find some IBM/Lenovo 3 button optical
mice which work as you would expect.

its the perfect plan9 terminal IMHO.
