Just go to http://plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9dist and download. This list is the wrong place for an unbiased opinion. But, I'll try... Plan 9 is interesting. --upas-gklatnqkydsqeooiswtqzcijnf Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Disposition: inline Received: from mail.cse.psu.edu ([130.203.4.6]) by cpu; Mon Feb 25 09:56:57 GMT 2002 Received: from psuvax1.cse.psu.edu (psuvax1.cse.psu.edu [130.203.6.6]) by mail.cse.psu.edu (CSE Mail Server) with ESMTP id B26221999B; Mon, 25 Feb 2002 05:03:07 -0500 (EST) Delivered-To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu Received: from mercury.bath.ac.uk (mercury.bath.ac.uk [138.38.32.81]) by mail.cse.psu.edu (CSE Mail Server) with ESMTP id 65CA319988 for <9fans@cse.psu.edu>; Mon, 25 Feb 2002 05:02:25 -0500 (EST) Received: from news by mercury.bath.ac.uk with local (Exim 3.12 #1) id 16fHpZ-00063F-00 for 9fans@cse.psu.edu; Mon, 25 Feb 2002 09:54:01 +0000 Received: from GATEWAY by bath.ac.uk with netnews for 9fans@cse.psu.edu (9fans@cse.psu.edu) To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu From: bigbinc Message-ID: Organization: http://groups.google.com/ Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Subject: [9fans] can I still buy it?

I am a student so a new operating system appeals to me. What are your unbiased comments on the system interesting. I guess the real important thing(to me) anyway, what does it is 'fell' like using the system. Linux is great after you have used it for 3-4 years.(w/o prior unix knowledge of course) Does plan-9 have that abrasive learning curve for performing complex stuff.
