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.
