cool..
I asked my university (Matfyz) to buy plan9 CD, because I think it is so
nice OS full of original ideas that it should be interesting to everyone
studying operating systems at my university. So I installed one plan9
from 4 disc set and made smal show of it. They enjoyed it but because
they think that plan9 is os w/o any future, CD is relativly expensive (at
least for czech student) and there is no other students working on this
OS they refused to buy it untill I will find some project that requires
plan9.. Do you have any ideas?
And small question to bell labs: whats about making free/very cheap
distribution for univerzities. This should make plan9 much more popular
since everyone who seen plan9 at my computer tryed to install it. (some
of them failed because of relativly stupid restrictions for partitions
and problem with more partitions on disc)
