It's hard to say whether a board will work without testing. You could
try searching the 9front sysinfo lists, but it's possible this board has
never been used. If it does work, I'm sure the 9front project would
enjoy a copy of the sysinfo for it :)
I've done all my Plan 9 hosting through Vultr, but looking at their
locations the farthest north they offer in Europe is Amsterdam.
Good luck!
Cheers,
Sean

Hello 9fans,
I'm a Plan 9 enthusiast from Finland. I've been playing around with Plan 9 as
a hobby for few years now. Earlier I've played with 9front, but now I'd like to
try out Bell Labs distro.
I'm thinking about renting a server from Hetzner (they've got a data center in
Helsinki) and run 9legacy on it. I'd set it up as a file server in order
to store my files in it.
I wondering if this entry level server is compatible with 9legacy?

I've contacted Hetzner support and they told me that the mainboard is Fujitsu
D3401. I can't find exact specifications for this board. I've only found this:
https://sp.ts.fujitsu.com/dmsp/Publications/public/DS-D3401-B.pdf
but I'm not certain whether this is correct or not. It is marked as
classic desktop mainboard.
I would appreciate your help.
I've not decided whether I'll go with Hetzner so suggestions about hosting
providers are more than welcome.
Kare
