http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sys/doc/index.html has all the papers.

You can also try the wiki

http://plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/plan_9_wiki/index.html

Whilst some aspects of the GNU/X11 environment are available
for Plan 9 the support is poor. If your first thought is "where
is GNOME", then you need to read the papers. Plan 9 is not
Unix, and is trying to leave the 1970's behind. Personally
speaking, GNOME on Unix is a bad idea, GNOME on Plan 9
doubly so.
