I now see there are, at least, a couple of forks of Plan-9 with the goal of keeping off bit rot and making bug fixes and enhancements.  Since I've had a lot of trouble attempting to boot Plan-9 on a laptop, VMWare Fusion, and a Linux VM Server, I thought I'd try the forks.  (Actually, Plan-9 installed everywhere I tried but the graphics stuff didn't work.)

I briefly looked at 9front and 9atom.  I thought I would query this group about the two.  Is one better maintained than the other?  Does one have better hardware support than the other?

Thanks for the help.
