Ok, thank you guys. I'll have a look at it once I have time (which
won't be until monday).
I don't seem be quite understand the plan9 concept.
What exactly is a cpu, file and terminal server in plan9 (I know what
the latter two are in UNIX, not in plan9 though)?
And what services do I need to set up in order to use a standalone
plan9 box?
Finally a rather pragmatic question: For what purposes is plan9
actually used? I get the impression that programming and file/cpu/
terminal serving is all you can do, but that can't be it, right?

So long,
Angelo
