Re: [9fans] New to plan9

[hiro <23hiro@gmail.com>]

fyi, mothra isn't really *better* than abaco, both support only a
small subset of websites, and not exactly the same subset. that's not
the reason to switch to 9front ;)

on 9front we use rcpu and rimport
on ball-labs you can only use the insecure cpu and import commands.

but if you had a central fileserver, and cpu-boot from that, this
kinda comes for free...
