CD's are so 1995. For a quick intro, use a RPi4 with 9pi on a microSD card, and Bob's your uncle.

If anyone is interested in running classic Plan 9 on classic commodity hardware, I'd be glad to help with issues. Nowadays older computer systems (circa 2000) can often be bought for less than $20 USD per system and components updated for less than a $100 USD per system if needed. Getting classic Plan 9 system working well is an enjoyable past time. As 9fans has become more of a 9front forum, just email me if you need support for classic Plan 9.   

Sincerely,
