[9fans] Question

["Victor LeNettoyeur ™" <munged@see.my.sig>]

I'm a hobbyist who has a spare computer. This particular machine looks ideal to 
install the latest distribution of Plan9 on.

Is Plan9 worthwhile as a workstation? I'm specifically interested in whether there is 
binary compatibility with UNIX. For example: will I be able to install my Applixware 
(for FreeBSD) atop it?

Thanks in advance for tolerating such newbie questions. Any pointers to FAQ's or web 
pages which might be helpful are greatly appreciated.
