I agree with miller about rpi USB and thus ethernet being kind limited in usefulness. The kirkwood though is a good basis for non-terminals. Even USB disks aren't *that* slow in my experience (>10M/s).

i have put some instructions together -- from Richard's 9fans posts and email correspondences -- on how to install your own kernel once you've made an instance using the AMI that Richard posted. keep in mind that this assumes you have a Plan 9 dev environment and you're generating the kernel in t
