I've been having a pretty good experience with the Guruplug with Plan 9 (I have the "standard" model that doesn't overheat so far and only one Gb ethernet), thanks to the efforts of the Plan 9 and Inferno communities.

Unless I read incorrectly, the Beagleboard platforms are easier to work with for Plan 9 developers, as Marvell believes having done a port to linux is enough documentation for anyone.  Is this still the case, and if so, would we be better off with Beagleboard machines?

I'm just curious as to what's believed to be sustainable in the long term, and think these ARM platforms are just swell (gee golly) despite the headaches getting stuff ported, especially when they run a sane OS like Plan 9/Inferno.
