	I use Plan 9 as a web server, compute and compile server,
and a file server for source code. It's far easier to manage than
Unix or Windows, I've had BSD systems fail me far more often
than Plan 9 has; the few cases Plan 9 has failed, it was
painless to fix.

	Plan 9 has been around for years. It was developed by the
same professionals that were responsible for Blit and UNIX,
and more. Plan 9 is used in some businesses for various
needs.
	Hardily a hobbyist system.

	I believe the current browser is Abaco, forgive me if I'm
wrong. Yes you can view the Internet.

	Last thing I knew there wasn't a video player. A basic video
player would be rather simple to write though.
