I've started working on a Plan 9 installation guide that will try
to cover common difficulties and give some useful tips.

To make sure it is useful for a broad audience, could the Plan 9 sites on
this list please fill out the following short survey and return it to me.
I'll summarize the replies I get.

Hardware.
  Plan 9 terminals:
  Plan 9 cpu servers:
  Plan 9 file servers:
  Unix u9fs file servers:
  Other details: (eg. disk space, worm disk, etc.)

Number of active users:

Installation difficulties:

Installation tips:

For example, here are my own answers:

Hardware.
  Plan 9 terminals: 1 MIPS Magnum 3000, with colour monitor
  Plan 9 cpu servers: 1 MIPS Magnum 3000
  Plan 9 file servers: 0 (tried to use Magnum, but got disk errors)
  Unix u9fs file servers: 1 SGI Indy
  Other details: 400Meg disk

Number of active users: 1 (me) now, 10-20 anticipated

Installation difficulties: mostly due to Unix-based fileserver quirks

Installation tips: use tcpd to protect access to u9fs daemon
