Sorry. It is a tinycorelinux USB stick somewhat (but not much!) customized with a 9vx installation. It runs really well on old, small systems and really fast on new ones. I included 9vx, the vx32 mercurial tree, and mercurial and gcc toolchain so you can update 9vx, hack the source, and build a new 9vx kernel. Thus, you've got a small (well, < 1G anyway; a cheap USB stick nowadays) image that gives you a full Plan 9 environment but works on almost any hardware. ron
