Newcomers like me to plan 9 will apreciate very much being able to use rio from the begining. I like plan 9's window system, it is simple, small and elegant and give you the general feeling and philosophy of plan 9 at first sight. It is a very good welcome for new users looking to experiment and try plan 9. Some years ago I tried plan 9 for the first time, but there was no way to get graphics working so I gave it a time, now I can start experimenting again and having used the system for some days and can say I am pleased. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Christoph Lohmann" <20h@r-36.net> To: "Fans of the OS Plan 9 from Bell Labs" <9fans@cse.psu.edu> Sent: Friday, August 12, 2005 9:47 AM Subject: Re: [9fans] New to Plan 9, boot and install on Compaq AP550? > > Actually it is not updated with the ISO generated every day, because it is > experimental.
