Here are some clarifications. 9legacy used to be a an experimental patch queue for Plan 9 from Bell Labs, providing patches that were not yet accepted into the mainline distribution. That's why we didn't recommend to use 9legacy, unless you had specific needs.
However, this isn't really the case since 2015, because Plan 9 from Bell Labs is not maintained anymore (last release was 2015-01-10). Today, 9legacy is more of a continuation of Plan 9 from Bell Labs. There are still experimental patches, but also a lot of fixes and improvements that would probably be part of Plan 9 from Bell Labs if it was still maintained. Also, NIX is not maintained anymore. However, there are some other variants of 9k (the 64-bit Plan 9 kernel), including the one available as part of 9legacy, that are still in progress. -- David du Colombier ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T9ef6430f3025e731-Mc9a3f2e566a1033cb9d790de Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
