Thank you to both of you for the responses. I guess getting deep into the man pages is how I'll have to go about running things. I'm actually considering taking the OS off my pi, and loading it onto the desktop I have as a CPU/file server. I can get legacy9 to boot on it, I just need to figure out how to get it to work and connect the pi via TCP. I also have though of just leaving the running system on my pi, also load it on the old desktop, and just have both boxes talk to each other. The first idea sounds more fun but I'm unsure.

> A few useful links to get started:
To add more infos for community stuff and more:
(Of course, read as much as possible, the man pages, wiki, fqa, articles,
papers, .... My notes here are just for you to get a small overview of
the community.)
In general, you'll notice that the bubble is quite small. You'll see the
same people hanging around and actually meet with people rather than
writing as an anonymous person to other anonymous persons. I was active
for less than a month and people started recognizing me.
Here are places people hang out and discuss stuff:
Mailing lists. There are few of them. The 9fans mailing list (here), I
won't say anything about it (you are already here).
There's also the 9front mailing list for 9front-specific topics (9front
is a fork); as well as the inferno mailing list.
For chatting there are multiple channels:
The 9fans discord server [1] if you prefer modern apps. We have a voice
chat and some channels, as well as a bot. Some of the channels are
bridged to a matrix channel and (through that) to the ##9fans irc on
oftc.
The ##9fans oftc (actually multiple channels) channels.
The #cat-v channel on oftc is often used for 9front discussion (and cat-v
discussion).
9p.zone (which is also the web page) has its own chat system known as
gridchat (short: grid). It's a 9p filesystem you can import into your
system and read-write the files there. There are some very special people
there who don't usually hang out in the other community channels.
In general you'll meet many people in multiple channels depending on
their preference. You can ask your questions everywhere and hopefully
they'll be answered.
Welcome to the community!
