Brest, le dimanche 19 novembre

Hi, I'm a linux man (tired of linux). I have an old computer and I'm
wondering what I can put in it. I tried several versions of Linux, Minix,
Minix-VMD.
I have 8Mo RAM, and two hard disks: 240Mo + 204Mo + 486processor
For a poetical reason, I think of putting Plan9 in it...
(why? well, because I like sam the editor...)
Do you think it's a good idea ?
I downloaded the install floppy, and it didn't work! I don't remember why, but
if you think it should work, I can try again.
I also have a CD-ROM (is there a way of getting the CD distribution ?)
Is there a way of putting a small part of Plan 9 (like I can do with
Linux: I only use three tools: groff, ghostview, and an editor).
I don't know anything else about Plan9 (except that I really like SAM :-)
