For the first time ever, I found some reference related to the Plan9 OS. As I grabbed the first computer with Internet access, I looked over Plan9's docs and I became more and more intrigued. In a couple of months I will be upgrading my Internet connection and I will have a stable 128 kbps transfer rate. My question is: should I give it a try right now or wait till it's better developed? I want to install it over an old computer, a 366 MHz Celeron with 64 MB RAM. The hard-disk is a Seagate Barracuda III with 30 GB. The modem is a 33.6 Kbps Rockwell model. On the main-board I have an integrated Yamaha OPL3 sound-card. The video card is an Intel i740 one. Thanks for your patience! -- Harder, better, faster, stronger... and I come on CDs too!
