	Hello!

	How useful is plan9 as standalone system? It will
	take a little till I can network it to another
	machine, and I would like to use it mainly for
	research and programming.
	
	As it seems that I won't be able to use any graphics 
	(rio), AGP not being supported, and al...
	can I do my job working from console alone?
	Is there any plan for Vesa or standard Vga, SVga 
	support, so as to not rely too much on the hardware.
	With the speed of todays graphic cards, it should
	be possible to run rio under Svga/Vesa smoothly.

	saludos,
