At least once a month it happens. We can't escape. We're forever doomed to get a "Can I use Plan 9 as my desktop OS for web browsing and watching movies and stuff?" thread every couple weeks, because
people are only willing to spend juuuust enough effort to find the
Plan 9 web page and subscribe to 9fans.

Hi all,
I've just installed (with few difficulties, I must admit) a fresh Plan9= on
my Dell Inspiron laptop.
I played with it and I'd really like to study it and get used to it. Ideally, I would like to make it my "everyday OS", to do all the = nice
stuff you can do with a computer (a part from work and study), like browsin= g
the web, watching movies and so on...
Is anyone using it for such things?
Is there, for example, a decent browser for Plan9 (I haven't found any)= ?
Or a music/movie player?

Thanks in advance,
Lorenzo.
