[9fans] octopus distribution

["Fco. J. Ballesteros" <nemo@lsub.org>]

Hi,

  there's a new octopus distribution at http://lsub.org/ls/octopus.html
It can be used, for example, as a way to use a remote Plan 9 machine
using any other system as a terminal.

The main tar ball includes Inferno with a pre-installed octopus and
a installation script so that it should be trivial to install and use it.

A tutorial can be found linked from the url above.

Programs included like omero, olive, oxport, etc. may be used without
using the rest of the octopus.

Also, a set of Plan 9 programs for use with the octopus are available
as a separate tar ball from the same url. This includes mouse redirectors
among other things.

Enjoy
