Subject: [TUHS] Plan 9 from outer space ?
Date: Sat, 18 Apr 2020 18:57:30 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200418165730.GA20272@vagabond> (raw)
There is a widespred anecdote that "Plan 9" name comes from the
movie "Plan 9 From Outer Space".
Since I didn't find anything more than a reference to this
anecdote (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plan_9_from_Bell_Labs
for example), I forced myself to watch the movie until the end
(what a pain!).
Guess what? I couldn't find the link between the film and the
beloved OS.
I'm sure there are people here who know more. Thanks in advance
for sharing your knowledge with us.
Pierre
