      Bottom of site: SDF Public Access UNIX System

      (this page was generated using ksh, sed and awk)

      I love this!

      Edit: I just noticed this. Is this a miscalculation of the time or am I in the wrong timeline?

      What happens with the Plan 9 system after the boot camp has ended? From what I can see on that site, their Plan 9 shenanigans will end by mid-September. (SDF is NetBSD-centric AFAIK.)

        It used to be that everyone in the Boot Camp got their own VM that was wiped each season, but recently everything was migrated to a single installation that doesn’t reset and everyone uses.

        In short: now you get a permanent account.

        And yes, SDF itself is NetBSD-based—the largest single installation as well as a primary testing environment, if I’m not mistaken.

          That’s not too hard, given that NetBSD is a niche in a niche. But a permanent Plan 9 server account which I do not have to keep running sounds intriguing… thank you!
