Greetings, Plan 9ers.

I'm wondering: what's the lieterature base for Plan 9 like? are there
any really good books out there yet?
(O'Reilly & Assoc. "Plan 9 in a Nutshell"?)

John Carmack called Plan 9 "achingly beautiful". I tend to agree; in
spite of it's almost harsh austerity in certain places, there is so much
about it that is just "Right" as to make it irresistable. Who the hell
is John Carmack anyway? His name sounds very familiar.

Finally, is there a way to shut down the system gracefully and reboot
from the commandline?

(Hadda sneak that last one in on ya).


Good Day!
James
