Using 9front for the first time and I really like it. There has certainly been a learning curve coming from Linux and BSD, but I'm getting there. Just need to set up Mail, Faces and an IRC client next.
So far I've just edited the theme, set up a couple functions, customised my riostart, edited the winwatch source code to reduce the padding etc. Everything I've done is pretty much in the acme window.

soon .. all VPS servers to VPS members..
individual machine images will be not upgraded. If you wish to take
advantage .. follow these steps:
1. back up any data on your current vm you want to keep and transfer it to
another machine
2. shutdown your vm
3. use the 'x' option to do a fresh image copy.
4. boot your new machine
5. restore from your back up
Another benefit of upgradating particuarly for the 'console-less' images is
that you will now gain console access by default.

For those interested, I put together a guide for setting up a Plan 9 desktop environment using Qemu and 9front, 9front-ANTS, or 9legacy. This will take you through desktop tweaks, creating new users, keyboard settings, git, and installing Go so you can start being productive as quickly as possible. https://danieljames.cc/plan9-on-qemu/

When I drawterm to my presumed (and confirmed with [l] in the VPS Maintenance Shell) already running plan9 I sometimes get a "Plan 9 Console" blank and unresponsive to keys or mouse. So I close the drawterm and do [s] [r] from maintmenu and rerun the drawterm and this worked until today when:
"cpu: cannot read ticket request in p9sk1: '/mnt/factotum/ctl' does not exist
goodbye"
Anyone got any idea what changed?
