I just ran across No Execute on your blog. I can't believe I never found that before (I've chased up all the Plan 9 stuff before).

I've also been an Atlast user for a few years. Can't believe I never heard about your fork of it. John Walker's writeup on Atlast should be required reading for all programmers.

I'm going to try 9atom. I have a newer Eee with no CD drive. With BSD I can convert iso to img, add boot code and be up and running quick. But I guess it won't be so simple with 9atom? If this works, I'll be very happy.
