It's interfaces and theory of operation are obviously superior to UNIX's. I see potential for it to make far more powerful servers than UNIX, but not until we get some more "universal" server apps for it. It would be nice to see Apache and Samba ported to Plan 9. Also, maybe a good database like PostgreSQL or MySQL, and some cross-platform scripting like tcl/tk. (I'd do it myself, but unfortunately, I don't have the skills.) There already is a way to serve NFS to UNIX, right? But most of all, what about a good web browser? Anyone know where to find Mothra for download or something similar? Thanks everyone!
