For large values of two, two equals three, for small values of three.

Seriously, it's probobly easiest to understand how Plan 9 works and why it
is the way it is by reading what you find in /sys/doc. Start with 9.ps and
work yourself through the rest. A few things aren't really necessary to
get started, but reading the titles and abstracts helps to sort things. The
wiki is nice and contains quite a few descriptions of getting things done
but provides little reasoning about design (notable exceptions are the
pages on the colour scheme and the mouse vs. keyboard debate - there's
really no need to carry this one back to the list.)

Oh, and the man pages are great for reference.
