Subject: Plan9 not in the network (e.g. HW-development or something else)
Date: Tue, 27 Jun 2006 17:00:22 +0200

Hello,

does it make sense to have Plan9 as a stand alone system without
a plan9-environment?
Using it for my day-to-day tasks instead of for example
OS-X or Linux?

One possible task of interest could be programming for microcontrollers,
so I would need programmers hardware (for flash/eproms and such stuff)
and having access to microcontroller boards.

Are there people around who
 a) use Plan9 not only together with a net of other Plan9-systems
    ("stand alone" or together with other systems (different platforms),
     are the standard protocols all implemented?)

 b) have done development/programming of microcontrollers on Plan9


TIA,
   Oliver

P.S.: I may get a used IBM notebooks, so I can afford this.
      And then I could use Plan9 if it brings me advantages.
