Subject: [9fans] this is not an advocacy question

Message-ID: <200605260010.55740.corey_s@qwest.net> (raw)
However I'm curious:
When would one prefer/opt to use/deploy Plan9 over Inferno,
and/or vice versa?
As far as I've been able to tell, it appears that Inferno is pretty
much Plan9, but with a couple "additions" - namely: Limbo and
Dis - and thus a different development model. Do they both use
the same kernel? How much common userland do they share?
( is "Styx" just a renamed 9P2000? )
To rephrase my question:
To what extent(s) does Inferno differ from Plan9? What approximate
percentage of Inferno consists of Plan9 v4?
( I'm not yet looking for pros/cons of either - just what the actual,
fundamental technical/functional differences are. )
Thanks for the clue! I come from a unix client/server background,
so I'm still working at simply getting my head around this "new"
environment from a 40,000 ft. view.
I've become very interested in distributed computing, as approached
from a Plan9 perspective, and I am very much appreciating the general
"keep it small, clean/correct and focused" mentality/objective which
is very apparent.
Thanks!
