ori, adventuresin9, sirjofri: thank you kindly for your responses. i am very sick so i do not contain the energy to quote your replies and respond to them individually. apologies. i have a better understanding of plan 9 grids now. as i understand it, the elegance of plan 9 is in its simplicity, not in unique features or abilities. your personal examples are appreciated. ori, kernel development seems beyond my horizon at this point, but it may come sooner than i think. adventuresin9, your explanation of a cpu server was very helpful. and sirjofri, you seem to be correct about a file server being so nice. i set up a local file server on a laptop just to experiment, and while i’m definitely not taking full advantage of what it has to offer, i understand the convenience. thanks again you guys. i recently posted on the r/plan9 subreddit with a short list of small questions. if anyone would be so generous as to provide understanding to any of them, i would be most grateful. i am eager to give back to the plan 9 community as soon as possible, instead of taking up your time. i’m documenting all helpful information, scripts, etc. so that once i get comfortable i can have make a document to help others go down the same path. ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/Td6c4be6d8502dbd0-M552425660be782a5a9d011cd Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
