I use several go programs on Plan 9 to accomplish basic functionality that I require on a daily basis: - Taipei-Torrent for magnet links. - rrss for pulling and parsing RSS feeds. - scpu for SSH. - twty for reading from and posting to Twitter. - unrar for unrar-ring rar files. All of these programs need to be compiled before they can be executed. sl
