This is the publication I wished I had had several months ago, so I decided to write it. With hundreds of screen shots and a few choice scripts (the main one based on maht's make_cpuauth contribution to Plan 9), it walks a UNIX sysadmin of modest experience through installing Debian Sid onto an x86_64 box capable of full-virtualization and then installing a virtual Bell Labs Plan 9 computer therein and transforming it from a stand-alone non-networked terminal configuration into an Internet-capable cpu/auth server.
This alpha version has all the information needed to do this--only the Overview section remains to be written. I would like to get other folks' evaluations of the work so it can be improved. It is released under Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike and GPL2. I really hope it is helpful to a lot of people as time goes by. http://dlc.casita.net/~dlc/vp9cb/index.html -- <not cent from sell> May the LORD God bless you exceedingly abundantly!
