So as I was searching around for literature I came across someone selling a 2 volume set
of Inferno manuals. I had never seen print manuals so decided to scoop them up, thinking
they'd fit nicely with a 9front manual I just ordered too.
That said, I hate to just grab a book for it to sit on my shelf, so I want to explore
Inferno once I've got literature in hand. Does anyone here know the best way of VMing
Inferno these days, if I can just expect to find a copy of distribution media somewhere
that'll work in VirtualBox or QEMU or if there's some particular "path of
righteousness" I need to follow to successfully land in an Inferno environment.
Second, and I hope I don't spin up a debate with this, but is this something I'm
investing good time in getting familiar with? I certainly don't hear as much about
Inferno as I do about Plan9, but it does feel like it's one of the little puzzle
pieces in this bigger picture of systems theory and development. Have there been any
significant Inferno-adjacent developments or use cases in recent (past 10-15) years?
