Subject: [9fans] Using 9P(2000) in Unix/Linux(/Windows)
Date: Wed, 14 May 2003 08:57:15 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <d317ff89.0305140021.6246cb68@posting.google.com> (raw)

Linux people and other Unix people don't seem have too good a choice
for a networked file system available. NFS and Samba/SMB/CIFS are the
regular alternatives in thousands of production networks. They are far
from satisfactory. AFS and other alternatives are not very well known.

What is the state of the art in trying to use 9P within various Unix
variations and even with Microsoft OS's? There might be a window of
opportunity here to make it a new World Wide Way to connect at file
level.

Maybe we need to promote 9P independent from Plan 9?
