Maybe.

The web-browser really is a deal-breaker, though.

I really enjoyed reading about Plan 9, first at plan9.bell-labs.com/sys/doc/,
and later at cat-v.org.

As much as I like the design of Plan 9, I also like surfing the web.

It would be nice to boot Plan 9 natively on AMD-64, type startx, and open a
browser.

Unfortunately, I'm not at a level where I can really contribute to getting
Plan 9 to that point.

I think the focus of the Plan 9 community should be just that.

The goal should be a Plan 9 "distro" that runs natively on AMD-64, and can
open a web-browser.

With the announcement of NIX, maybe we are already at that point?
