- Plan 9 is currently still in the preemie ward. When I can go out and buy a
- copy of Plan 9 with all the installation tools I get with System V, then
- I'll be able to take a look at it. But today, even if I could get a copy of
- Plan 9 it wouldn't run on anything I have access to. And the installation,
- based on the Plan 9 docs I've got, is a real pain.
-
- I'd love to try it, though...
