There's an rc port for linux yes. Well, it just run on linux. didn't need a port. I'm currently using it as a shell, but there are still a few bugs. pressing ctrl-c twice while compiling something with gcc logs me out. The 'w' or 'who' command only shows '-rc' and not the current program you're running, etc. But rc still is a very useful \ shell, it's small, and runs extremely fast. 9wm is a clone of 8 1/2, and runs on linux too, I'm using it at the moment. (1.2pre version). There's also 9term, an `xterm' window that resembles the plan9 windows. Further more, 'sam' exists for unix, and wily, a copy of acme. michel -- | Michel Oosterhof PGP-Key:1024/09A3EA79 |
