[9fans] Plan9 on virtual machine in Mac os

[Mark Everett]

Mostly a lurker so far, but wanted to try the actual system rather than 
plan9port.  But sometimes getting actual hardware up an running is a steep 
first step :-)

Does anyone know of a virtual machine running on current Mac OS that hosts 
plan9?  Preferably one that isn’t too difficult to set up….

Also, I’m a little unclear on what the advantages/disadvantages of the various 
forks of plan9 are best on, their audience, etc. And it seems somewhat 
difficult to determine where to find the code for the different forks. Most 
likely I’m just not paying attention….

I do have a pi 4 but probably not the one with the wall wart fix. Is Mr. 
Miller’s code all in one place? Where is it publicly available?

Is there some repository for add-on file systems ala 9P2000 in one place. If 
not the actual code, perhaps pointers to the actual repositories.

Sorry if it appears that I’m not digging in to find this information myself, 
but I can’t seem to find the end of the string to pull…

Thanks in advance.

Lurker Mark

I started reading this. "Plan 9 Dommed: a review" seems to have a defect some 
blank space where there should be test.
