Hello everyone,

I'm really looking forward to getti= ng to grips with Plan 9 in depth, but would have a question in advance.<= br />

Since I want to use Plan = 9 on an amd64 system, my understanding is that I am left with two options: = Plan 9 legacy and 9front. I want to use Plan 9 on bare metal, so Plan9= port would only be a stopgap.

To be able to decide on an option, I would like to understand the d= ifferences. Do the two systems differ in their stated goals, or is 9fr= ont's development merely historical (e.g. for licensing reasons)?

Many thanks in advance!&nbs= p;
