I can say this particular 9 fan isn't dead...just aging. My main file serv= er here at home runs Plan9, but with my own file system, rather than Ken's. My auth server is a Raspberry Pi B running Richard's port. I run 9vx as a terminal taking its root from my file server daily, and run it with a loc= al root at the office. There's another older Pi B running stand-alone at the office. I tought a course last fall using Plan9 on Raspberry Pis, and I st= ill use Inferno internals to teach my undergrad OS class. Plus one of my students did an independent study last year starting a port to the Banana P= i. So at least in my little world, Plan9 is very much alive and being used. BLS P.S. On the other hand, the last six months my little world has included a lot of activity related to the ENIAC. So YMMV.
