Hi All,
Just heard about Plan 9, and was wondering if anyone would
care to take a stab at explaining the differences between it,
Linux, and the versions of BSD.
I realize Plan 9 is basically a significant refinement of Unix,
with much/all(?) of the basic code having been rewritten. Have
read some of the documentation, however still a bit fuzy on "why"
one would use it over either super stable BSD, or the up and
coming, ever improving Linux distro's.
Or, is this simply more a technology demo, sort of an academic
exercise. Not sure if Bell has plans for this, as Inferno sems to
have wrt interactive video.
Thanks in advance.
Fred
