SSH2 in any form helps a ton. my point wasn't about 9atom. my point was only that i'm sorry that more folks can't enjoy plan 9 due to silly technical problems. however, since you brought it up, it should run on nearly any intel/amd system built within the last 15 years. i know it runs as a server in xen. (that is, no vga.) here are a couple of systems that i currently use http://www.quanstro.net/plan9/9atom/index.html it also runs on dell and hp blade servers with intel mezzanine cards or lan-on-motherboard, not that that matters. you should be able to build/buy/craigslist a machine for $50 or less. - erik
