I have been pondering about making a central file server that serves a file system to PCs. PCs are scattered around the university and running Linux or Windows, maintained by normal people; that is, PCs are really Personal Computers. I'd love to see the server running Plan 9, but the protocols between the server and PCs were an issue because NFS must be avoided in this case. But now, FUSE/ftp would settle the issue for Linux. Windows can mount ftp servers as if they are normal folders already. But still, I wish FUSE will support 9p2000 someday. :) --
