Plan 9? #12

Closed mcandre closed 5 years ago

Could we get a Plan 9 box? Would be awesome to quickly build and test apps in a Plan 9 VM!

@mcandre If you really want a challenge, build a GNU/Hurd system. I'm afraid Plan 9 is in the nostalgia category, right next to its brother Inferno. FreeDOS and OpenSolaris are on my list, but at least for now, my focus is on distros which would make suitable hosts for magma.

Pull request?

Speaking of OpenSolaris, I have a working SmartOS template. SmartOS appears to be a major flavor of Illumos, the modern successor to both OpenSolaris and (defunct) Solaris.

I have a template in that same git repository for DilOS, the apt variant of Illumos, as well.

The SmartOS install process was cumbersome enough that I had to fork and submit a PR just for it lol

@mcandre I don't understand. You forked packer, SmartOS or your template?
