The environment of Plan9 is very much suited to this activity. I use it to control the activities of the Windows / Linux / *BSD / OSX machines in my empire. I connect them together with 9p tunnelled over ssh, Plan9 <> Plan9, SMB, bit of ftp, AoE. I jump around through firewalls and other tunnels all for the precious 9p, the Queen of Kings. I sit at a non Plan9 terminal and wonder how the savages manage.
