A nice quote from a nice book on distributed systems [*] Need I quote
another distributed systems expert, Jim Choate? The choice only comes
up if you feel the need to build a PC out of a bunch of Plan9s instead
of a Plan9 out of a bunch of PCs. Do we really need the thing to do
video? Although it would be nice.
I punted on this anyway by buying a Startech usb2 vga device. Now
"all" I need is dma with a decent usb pipe, and a port of the linux
driver.
