I've been looking for information on setting up a Plan 9 grid, but I've been having some trouble. First off, I should clarify--a grid is the name for a collection of machines including a cpu server, auth server, file server, and some terminals, right? I'd like to know the general order you use when setting up such a grid. It sounds like the first thing to do is set up a standalone cpu/auth/file server. Good. Now, after setting up that server, does a dedicated file server come next? Or an auth server? Has anyone else kept notes while setting up one of these?
