hello!

there is a new german book about plan9:

	H.-P. Bischof, G. Imeyer, B. Kuehl, A.-T. Schreiner
	"Das Netzbetriebssystem Plan 9, Konzepte und Programmierung"
	(the network OS plan9, concepts and programming)
	ISBN 3-446-18881-9
	see http://www.hanser.de/computer/buecher/18881.htm

after browsing the pages for 5 minutes it seems to me,
that the book contains both new and familiar material:

the 'new' chapters include an introduction to 9P using the debug messages
from 'ramfs', example code for a simple kernel device or user-level servers.

other chapters like the chapters about 'mk' and the panel library seem
like (extended) translations from the papers in "Plan9. The Documents".

has anyone read this book?  are my first impressions wrong?
any opinions or recommendations?

thanks, -markus
