This is remarkably cool. "Plan 9 occupies an interesting niche in the open source operating system world. It is a full-fledged descendant of Unix, but not in the way that most systems out there are. It took the bones and beating heart of Unix and then built a brand-new cybernetic exoskeleton around it, with lasers, and heat vision... oh wait. You want to boot this bad-boy up, right? Well, okay, we'll do that. But what hardware shall we run it on? Hey, you got a Raspberry Pi? Well then, read on!" A ready-made image to run Plan 9 on your Pi.

Acme [...] is somewhere between both Vi and Emacs
What? Acme is nothing like Vi or Emacs. It is a GUI editor that requires heavy mouse usage. It is nothing like any other editor I have ever used. It is very nice with many useful unique features but it has a steep learning curve. The interface is not at all discoverable, so you can't just dive right in. Unfortunately it requires a three-button mouse so it is not very practical on my two-button laptop.
If you want to learn more about Acme watch this video:

There is a Linux port called Wily.

I tossed it up on my server:

I'm going to try to mirror all the "unofficial" Pi images soon.

Here's a proper page to keep an eye on, I'll be uploading OS images as I have time:

I was about to suggest "CoBLitzing" the URLs for the images, to take advantage of their CDN, but it looks like it's being wound down.

So Perhaps Coral Cache instead? http://www.coralcdn.org/
