Subject: [9fans] Plan 9 future (Was: Re: Are the Infernospaces gone?)
Date: Sat, 6 May 2000 14:47:47 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20000506124747.yTBOQc7sF893FLbtr7fK0Ojf_xRvIUO8Woa_TvbZzTQ@z> (raw)
Linux didn't just catch on because it was free. It also caught on because
there was a huge base of existing applications. It worked because people
wanted to do at home the same things they'd been doing at work or at
college, without spending the money on expensive hardware and software.
Granted, linux couldn't fill that niche straight away, but because it
was a UNIX clone, the potential was obvious.
At the moment, there isn't a similar need for Plan 9 or Inferno. They're
solutions looking for a problem.
