Is plan9 still for sale from bell-labs and will it still be on
sell(lets say a year from now)?  I am a student so a new operating
system appeals to me.  What are your unbiased comments on the system
interesting.  I guess the real important thing(to me) anyway, what
does it is 'fell' like using the system.  Linux is great after you
have used it for 3-4 years.(w/o prior unix knowledge of course)  Does
plan-9 have that abrasive learning curve for performing complex stuff.

Not if you've used Unix for three or four years...
