Subject: [9fans] Returning to Plan 9: Virtualization, Distributions
Date: Tue, 22 Nov 2011 10:39:41 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAFUtaNFWMxu-s41qL+NfaP9wgNwFvg9w5kVhaQ8ee6W7Ca=iFQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

After a long hiatus, I'd like to get back to experimenting with Plan
9.  I have an Ubuntu Linux laptop with AMD's virtualization extensions
supported by the CPU, so I figure my best bet is one of the umpteen
virtualization tools.  Which is best supported by Plan 9 — virtualbox,
qemu, or something else?

Also, what distributions are best for amd64?  Bell Labs'? 9front? 9atom?

Thanks,
—Joel
