I learned about plan9 a couple days ago, and I'm impressed. But I do have a
couple questions:

Where can I learn all the commands and all the important programs(editors,
compilers, etc)?
Does it use a microkernel?
Is it better than UNIX and Unix-like Os's? And How?
Would it be compatible with SATA drives?
Are there any more releases? Or was the last time it was updates 2002?
What is its development model?
Are there any new things that will be implemented in the OS?
Does it have a web browser?
How many languages does the compiler support?
What's distributed computing exactly?
Why isn't it so popular?

I hope these aren't too many questions. :).
