Subject: Plan 9 release and all of us

     I am very excited about the release of Plan 9.  I am curious about why 
     it is coming out now after all this time.  I hope that it is partially 
     motivated by the enormous benefit to an operating system from a 
     supportive development community.  This is truly what makes Linux 
     great.  
     
     I think rather than comparing the two systems (which will cause such a 
     religion-deluge once we go onto the usenet!) we might concentrate on 
     how to use what makes Plan 9 great and (more importantly) not what 
     Plan 9 can do for us, but what we as a user community can do for Plan 
     9.
     
     The usenet forum and the ftp sites with redistributable software from 
     us folks will make for a great start.  A well maintained FAQ for folks 
     who try to configure PCs to run plan 9 would be invaluable.
