I just want to say: FUN!
In my little test bed I've got a 1GHz CPU/auth/fs server, a 100MHz
terminal booting off the fs, and about 40GB of venti storage currently
backing up my samba/netatalk shares via u9fs. I'm so thoroughly
impressed by its usability and performance I can hardly contain myself.
It's pretty slick having a terminal that's an order of magnitude slower
than the CPU server and not worrying about it (or even noticing) in the
least. Good video and Ethernet cards go a long way. Plus, less than a
week of rc scripting has noticeably changed the way I now deal with
bash. The experience has been invaluable.
As a side note, I used to be an Oberon addict, and I became interested
in Plan 9 years ago through Rob's work with acme. With the
VMS/NeXT/Linux asides in the interim, in so many ways finally putting
Plan 9 to work feels a lot more like coming home than a diversion.
Thank you.
-Jack
