> would i configure the through drawterm, or through mounting the graphics, /dev/screen etc. i ask because configuring a linux VPS is extremely simple as the OS is entirely functional through just CLI.
For this system to work, your VPS also needs to be plan 9 based, because you need the /net filesystem. Theoretically you can replicate that filesystem on a Linux machine, but the software to do that doesn't exist natively (might be possible via inferno, but I won't recommend it, especially plan 9 works quite reliably on a VPS).
> is kvm necessary?
KVM is just what I know works most reliably. Most VPS providers we have good experience with use kvm and also qemu with kvm is battle-tested. Other technologies might work too.

Thing with plan 9 is, reading and learning the theory is great and necessary, especially for preparing everything. At some point you have to use it, ideally as much as possible.

9fs net!sirjofri.de!333 /n/news
bind -a /n/news/<channel> /lib/news
news
(This is what I provide using rssfill, if you want to try it. Source is online).
> i’m having a bit of trouble getting irc and usenet to ‘work’ on the school network
I got usenet working inside acme using eternalseptember, but it felt quite dead. I had much better experience in fidonet 5 years ago (and I'd love to join, but I don't have software for 9 so I could only telnet).
> and i’m still a little bewildered by email on plan 9, but i’ll get there. thanks again.
No.
(To stay in humor.) Mail works, server is reliable. I also wrote a few blog posts about how I configured it. Good luck.
