Thankfully 9p flows as poorly as all the other protocols here in KSA, but it still flows. I wonder sometimes if I am the only plan 9 user in "The Kingdom"... Where most folks are accustomed to "five nines" of availability, the denizens of my hot/dusty/boring city are generally happy with "five sevens". Getting back to the topic at hand, does anyone know any specific 8-core capable motherboards that are running plan 9 on bare metal? ma salaama jcw On Wed, Jul 16, 2008 at 4:44 PM, Uriel wrote: > You could always import /net from a 9grid node in a (more) free > country ;) (Maybe SA should start filtering 9P connections ;) > > Peace > > uriel > > On Wed, Jul 16, 2008 at 2:13 PM, John Waters wrote: >> Hi Mr Forsyth, >> >> I tried to respond to your directly, but the mail bounced. >> Here in Saudi Arabia tinyurl is blocked (by the govt).
