Topicbox-Message-UUID: 72ffb38a-ead3-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025 Hi all, Just wanted to introduce myself as a new Plan 9 user; I have been wanting to play with it for years but always resisted polluting my network with x86 equipment.. but now that I took the plunge, I am really enjoying the hell out of it. The simplicity of Plan 9 makes getting my C chops back up to speed honestly a lot of fun; you can actually accomplish something without wasting a lot of time wading through a bunch of crap. That is cool. Now that I have a supported wireless NIC in my laptop (Compaq Evo n410C - perfectly supported, btw) I have been browsing sources/ contrib and checking out some of the apps - abaco and ssh2 in particular. They work pretty well for my purposes (thanks for your work, guys!) I was wondering, though, if there was someplace where I could get the most recent (not plan9ports) abaco sources to peek at? The server, plan9.kicks-ass.org seems to always be down, and all I can find in contrib/fgb is the binary. I'm curious to see how it all goes together. Regards, -Sean Caron (scaron at umich.edu)
