No, it was designed for -distributed- environments.

Not the same thing. P9 offers -no- significant advantage from the
perspective of a single user wanting to keep all their 'stuff' on a single

matters is that it is a -single- box tied do a -location-.

P9 offers global sign on at a level all other OS'es drool about.
