At least Linux is not the only real UNIX anymore :-) On Nov 8, 2007, at 3:52 PM, Iruata Souza wrote: > Hello 9fans, > > As this years Google Summer of Code 2007 project mentored by the Plan > 9 community I started writing a 9P client in form of a filesystem > driver for the OpenBSD operating system.
