If you just want to use drawterm to connect, the reply you quoted shows a simple way. If you want to use more plan 9 capabilities, like mounting the pi file system remotely with 9fs, or connecting with a different user name, setting up a full cpu + auth + fossil server gives you that (and gives you a chance to understand plan 9 more thoroughly). > Also, I was wondering if Plan 9 uses the Raspberry Pi's GPU.

Plan 9 doesn't use the gpu's accelerated graphics api, but the gpu is still doing some low-level functions behind the scenes. I wouldn't advise overclocking anything. If you care that much about speed, why use a raspberry pi?
