Let's assume Plan9 is installed, the hardware is supported and network
connections are up 'n running. My question is: Is Plan9 ready for the
every day work? Using Tex is possible, I've heart. What about mail, news,
www? And software for image manipulation? What is not possible?

Best regards,

Plan 9 is a research platform, not targeted at naive end users.
Plan 9 release 3 comes with nice tools for handling mail and news.
It didn't originally have a Web browser, but people use Charon
under the Inferno subsystem.
What is possible depends on how good a programmer you are,
also on what the user community comes up with.
