The summaries in the Plan 9 documentation are excellent.
Much more trustworthy than anything I might mindlessly
pop down in an ill-considered email.

I have heard lots of good things about plan9 in a past. How it is
innovative OS and it takes file abstractions step futher then UNIX,
but have never really made any serious research on topic.
Could someone please sum up for me what is new in plan 9 besides it
being "multiserver/distribured" OS.
Sincerely,
IS.
