Re: [9fans] New to plan 9: what next?

[hiro <23hiro@googlemail.com>]

It's not just about being new to Plan 9. Plan 9 in a way has been new
to the world itself all the time, even though it's last centurie's
technology. And sometimes it feels just pointless to go this - sane -
way.
But if you earnestly chose your path and have come this far, don't
make no compromises now. Stick to the few things you know for sure,
and you will spot a lot more of this wisdom soon. It's a lot of work,
because you have to think for yourself. If you want more examples look
at the source code, cause you won't find much tutorial-like
documentation here. You will only find freedom, and endless
possibilites. Working with Plan 9 won't give you all these big
problems you probably know from "modern" operating systems, which all
force you spending most of your time solving them. That's why you
rather don't even know where to start, or what to do next. It's all
the great possibilities and flexibility.
Plan9 is an operating system where thinking is supported natively!
This is at least what i think i learned about plan9 in the last
months. It has ever since since awkwardly amazed me.

I'm glad there are other newcomers, climbing out of that pit of
darkness. This is a way which is otherwise lonely and exhausting,
