Running fossil+venti on a Linux Kernel surely is an interresting
alternative: more efficient then my first idea, plus the same benefit:
lots of hardware drivers not supported in Plan 9.

The idea of Plan 9 in userspace still attracts me for several reasons:
- running Plan 9 alongside my Linux Desktop with reasonable speed
- running CPU and Auth servers on Linux Servers with otherwise small
  workload=3D20
- doing same thing under Windows, eventually starting under Cygwin

 I'll look into drawterm.

cl is not on my machine, where may I be able to get it from?

Thanks and
