My application is home-control; I have an off-grid cabin that wants to run a 3G usb stick and a low-power cpu server to manage automation - pre-heating, hot water, etc.  This lets me geek a little at the same time.

The plug really needs fully hands-off booting and this does not seem to
be the direction you're heading.  I suppose my approach where the file
server is on the network isn't great either, although it may be suitable
for an auth server.

What are the various eventual uses for a plug running P9?  I can think of

       Stealth CPU server/AUTH server
       ARM development system (where's Go?)

Can't think of anything else, but I'm not great on the imagination thing.

I'm particularly fragmented now, but soon I'll want to focus on only a few
projects, so I'm offering to help any sort of concrete goals.  I have only
an oldish plug, probably a year old now, but it's dedicated to Plan 9.

Mind you, so is the YeeLoong and that doesn't seem to be going anywhere.
