really cool! :)

no socket-programming, just some commands and all is fine... :)

Looks lik e"Plan9 is it!" :)

Ciao,
   Oliver

P.S.: OK, with a local nntp-server (innd or something like that,
      a grep also could be done (find and grep), but *really*
      grepping in the net... hehehh, fine OS. So I'm looking
      for hardware then, where Plan9 will run witjout problems... :)
      BTW: any hints for this? (what's about IBM notebooks?)
