Hello! Very respectfully, I'd suggest you to read all the documentation available in the wiki. Your questions are fine, but they are already answered in the plan 9 wiki (With much more depth).
Plan 9 actually runs on one of the most powerful computers in the world. Ancient? Never. Plan 9 is a misunderstood progressist. Please Chris, be respectful with this project. PD: I understand that at least you have googled your questions or you have looked into the wikipedia.... Well... In case you didn't find the Plan 9 wiki address, it is on http://9fans.net PPD: You can also read a copy of this mail-list messages on groups.google.com/group/comp.os.plan9 On 6/1/07, erik quanstrom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
