I'm chugging through the resources, reading, and documentation.  This system acts differently from anything I've previously used, so I'm at a loss at...everything.  I visited the IRC channel and am working through the .pdf and the main site.  Is there anything else I should be looking into?  Also, the .pdf said that I should have a working plan9 install available to practice, so I tried using vmplayer but the kernel panics.  I'm learning, but not well acquainted with kernel programming, debugging, or anything else.  Also, if this all seems kind of incoherent, I'm sorry, its past 2am and I've been working on absorbing info for over 4 hours.
