Ideally, I'm looking for a breakthrough with a pristine Plan 9
distribution. =A0This would require building the ARM (5?) development
toolchain, then the entirety of the runtime for the ARM as well as the
appropriate kernel(s). =A0I guess the interested parties already know
this, as well as how to boot the ARM equipment with the most recent
available ARM kernel.


I'v= e been planning to try Plan9/ARM Go, so I'll give it a go. I can it on = Sheeva and GuruPlugs and possibly TrimSlice -- I need to figure out the how= to net boot it.
