If i understood the answer correctly (in which I'm not sure because I couldn't figure out if it was about the official release from 2002 or atom) many of the hardware I wish to use have no compatibility with plan9. Then what should I do? I mean, if i have to create my own drivers, where do I start? If this mailing list is not the place to be for my questions (being too basic and annoying), just say so, but I have really no other idea where to get help from (with this problem of mine), so if that's the case, could you please give me some advice about that (meaning where to get help)? And about the foxconn L S-36, its some custom dell motherboard ripped out of a factory setup hardware, and I guess I'll check the chipsets in it, and ask about that when I'll have the chance to check it. Still, thanks for your help Abel A.
