then you also know the parable of the sower and the seed?

i'm glad that linux is adopting (some) plan9 ideas. if there's
enough of a taste of (and compatability with) plan9 in linux,
i think a lot more people will see that plan9 is pretty cool.

it's better than the alternative, linux could become more like
mach.
