You can do it in pic (and I think grap) by just emitting some text
before drawing something. In fact you can do arbitrary postscript
code. This snippet uses the Pr string to push the current color
FWIW my new work plan9 box (an HP WX4200) boots plan9 but doesn't see SATA
using the labs iso - Erik's 9atom works fine.
The onboard Broadcom nic is junk but I put an intel card in it which "just
works"™.
The bundled nvidia nVidia Quadro FX 540 works with vesa - but swapped it
for a Geforce2 whi

Plan9 is my primary desktop and has been for years.
I use vnc onto a windows box to browse the web, it annoys me

Works for me: I use it with over SSH1 channel to mount AIX and Linux files.
Excerpt from /rc/bin/9fs:
case $aixsystems
srvssh -r -u bin/AIX/u9fs $1 $1.$user /n/$1
chmod 600 /srv/$1.$user
case $linuxsystems
srvssh -r -u bin/L
I finally used contrib/gui and love its simple, intuitive
interface!
I did run into a couple of issues -- not sure if they are
specific to 9vx.
- resizing or bringing it back on top seems to make it hang.
Just a blank screen. I have to kill it.

if it uses replica, it will be slow, and contrib uses replica.

I believe fgb added the feature that all new packages created or updated
create an ISO image. on pull or install contrib checks for the presence of the
iso first. T
