As a Linux user, I don't recommend installing Linux on RPI either, and I use it only for testing. But, I've started playing with 9front 4 weeks ago *because* I had a spare "computer" (RPI) and I've found the RPI image from 9front.org.

What's the purpose of having/maintaining the FQA if not for newcomers ? A very short handbook with auth/fs installation info is more than enough for regular users of 9front/plan9. The FQA looks like a newcomer's guide/map/overview, and the chances that newcomers are starting with RPI might be higher than you think.

Just to be very clear, I understand the feeling of voluntarily maintaining something that you don't need and I'm grateful to those who put together this FQA, maintaining it in whatever form they think is best.
