I discovered this article a while ago when I was toying around with using plan 9 as it was designed, as a fully transparent distributed operating system. After reading this article I was a little shocked because the author didn't do any configuration or setup for the other machines, so I thought, wow! Plan 9 was so advanced that all you need are multiple machines present on the same network and it will automatically 'clusterize' them.

So I went out to make my own cluster and realized that no, sadly, the author simply did not activate nor configure the other machines at all.

I still love plan 9 and still use it on the occasion, but I'd love more detail on how to actually set up a plan9 cluster and really 'get into' the power of distributed computing.
