A great announcement today from the
9front team: ongoing support for
ppc64.
Today's release finally brings the groundbreaking
Plan 9 operating system to our platform as a preferred architecture, with big endian a first-class citizen. It's idiosyncratic, sometimes baffling and at times deliberately outright user-hostile, but now you have a choice of operating systems and can truly use our refreshingly different computers with a refreshingly different user interface paradigm. I'm downloading and installing it on the Blackbird right now and I'll report back with a full review in detail.
Also, I'm well aware of the calendar, thanks.
