Subject: [9fans] Plan 9 over Linux?
Date: Mon,  1 Mar 2004 10:35:43 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <196f381b.0402281054.64590cad@posting.google.com> (raw)

Admittedly, I haven't tried Plan9 (other than the installer), but I've
read a lot on the website. But I'm still somewhat confused: what is
the benefit of Plan 9 over, say, Linux? What's different?

I've read that everything's a file... ok, that's great, but what's the
benefit in that? Is that the only improvement?
