I have adopted on my Linux (Mint) workstations - plural - the paradigm:

    ssh -fX remote acme -l lib/task.acme # for different tasks

and it works even remotely pretty adequately. The remotes tend to be
pretty slick Debian servers, but even locally that is a  boon (NetBSD
rules the Posix roost in my office).

What I can't do is to do the same from the Plan 9 workstation that I
still prefer for development. I was bemoaning this in some notes to
myself just before reading the exchange.

Now, it is very common, even after all these years of Plan 9 use, for
me to miss the wood for the trees. I think, not very deeply, that P9P
"cpu" running on the remote Posix server might be what I need - Plan 9
SSH and I seem to be sworn enemies and X-fdorwarding is not even a
twinkle in SSH's eye - and here I note that Steve Simon's cpu server
for Windows has not been included in P9P (I heard Steve bring that up,
but I have never explored it as I don't own a Windows platform).

In short, is it out of the question to cpu into a Posix server to
initiate an acme session, rather than using SSH to forward X?

Lucio.
