that's the really tricky part... you'll be hitting your head against several
walls, listed here in no particular order (this list does not attempt to be
comprehensive):

	- why use plan9 when linux just works?
	- no matter how hard globus is to set up, that's what everybody uses
	- you can't expect everybody to just turn around and start using plan9
	- people are afraid to change
	- sure plan9 has all these features, but it's new and untested
	- the license sucks
	- all the research is in globus

this is my personal experience, if yours is different i'd be most delighted!
