Topicbox-Message-UUID: 911ce8dc-ead4-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025 Hello, Simple question: how hard would it be to modify 9vx so it can be used as a cpu server? As I naively see it, the two main problems are: 1) to have 9vx running a cpu server kernel instead of a stand alone terminal one (I don't even know if that's the case actually). 2) to have the host forwarding whatever packets should go to 9vx. I had two goals in mind; obviously being able to have a cpu server without having to dedicate another machine for that at home, but also I will need to run some tests over the net for an app I will try to write and that will require to have several plan 9 hosts being able to talk to each other. I realize vmware could cut it, but I find 9vx much easier to use, so I was wondering if that would be at all possible... Cheers, Mathieu
