Subject: [9fans] Recommended emulators/VMs for P9 install
Date: Thu, 15 Apr 2010 13:11:49 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <t2s7871fcf51004151011oa0f2ea87q49fb80a751ca1201@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

My computer died, so I'm in the market for a new one.  I figure I'd
like to get back into hacking on Plan 9 so I plan to install it
beneath a VM in whatever machine I buy.  I'm even considering Windows
7 Pro with Virtual PC, but I think I'd prefer Xen or one of the
Linux-based things (VirtualBox, etc.).

Ease of installation is important, as is the ability to run a somewhat
normal (Windows or Linux) host OS.  Are there any recommendations?

—Joel
