If anyone has any suggestions for systems meeting the following criteria, post it:
- Must have emulator available
- Must have TCP/IP implemented
- Must have network support in emulator
- Must have SSH or a Linux build with standard toolchain for itself (i'm not suffering through yalls fucking gay-ass dkP toolchains and shit again! keep your custom-ass distribution programs away from me!) -
- Plan 9 (kind of standard bit different)
- AIX (regular UNIX; if you find a 7.2 image, write me; 7.1 does not work in QEMU)
- z/OS (has a unix mode, but you start in a different environment, you also need a special telnet programming to access; there is a torrent for the 2006 version available; the emulator is hercules; SSH can be installed). -

@bahua the fun is in the suffering
Recent VM/Emulation Adventures:
The goal was to get TCP/IP and SSH running on whatever weird VM/emulated machine, and connect to the chatroom at chat.tcp.direct successfully.
Longhorn, somewhere late pre-reset: Crashes right after installer begins "Starting Windows", 0x7b from sum-match ISO. Fail.
TempleOS (well, Shrine, but y'know): Dear god. No. No, I am not writing SSH in HolyC myself *fuck that,* fail.
Slackware: oh ffs i gotta use fdisk to partition this damn thing? and it's not even the good fdisk? Oh, wait... it hangs. Fail.
WinME: shockingly, was *fairly* stable... until it hung up WASAPI and the hypervisor two frames into desktop rendering. Fail.
Mac OS 7: First-boot after install, immediate unknown trap. Just works, eh? Fail.
Amiga: After about 85 resets and 7 hours of constant fighting with WinUAE, I finally got TCP/IP working. (Required 10MB of total RAM and an FPU to connect.) Success!
Win98FE: just... PuTTY and done. Easy. (This was the warmup.) Success...
Other people's achievements so far:
- Minecraft using the new QEMU interface mod thing.
- Hacked smart fridge.
- iPhone, from custom initramfs.
