Absolutely. What was interesting when I was frequently updating sysfromiso was watching the continuous flow of improvements in code from Bell Labs. But in the Plan 9 style, the number of lines changed could be small in number, yet potent in impact. Plan 9 is very much alive. It lacks the near continuous code churn of many open source projects -- a virtue! -- while continuing to add new support for new hardware and code improvements. Changes are not made for change sake; they are made because they make real improvements in the system. It's hard not to like that. ron
