If you want a standalone plan9 system, just boot a terminal kernel
(9pcdisk or whatever).  You don't need an auth server if all you're
going to talk to are Unix systems and our sources machine.

You will be able to ssh, telnet, ftp to unix systems.  You can
see their file systems by running u9fs on them.

You don't need a complete plan9 network.

That's the conclusion :_) thanks.

After all, there aren't solution?. I can't use Plan9 for standalone
workstation?.

How to live with a plan9 workstation in a unix world? (without modify
unix boxes)

Well, i suppose i need to buy some computers then. And make a complete
plan9 netkwork.

comentado en espa€ol verdad :?
