Yes, there is a future to Plan 9, just don't look here. Hangar 18 is a the first Plan 9 co-operative of Plan 9 users (there are about a dozen of us so far) which is focused on the real world use and growth of Plan 9, as compared to the goal of the 9Fans list (which is to keep Plan 9 a research/ivor tower application). http://open-forge.org It is important to understand that the real world growth of Plan 9 is in direct opposition to the goals and desires of the original developers and 9Fans subscribers. -- ____________________________________________________________________ We are all interested in the future for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives.
