it's a shame that none of this is hosted on Plan 9 systems (including cat-v). -Skip On Sun, Jun 5, 2011 at 9:06 AM, Iruatã Souza wrote: > On Sun, Jun 5, 2011 at 11:10 AM, Rudolf Sykora > wrote: >>> http://code.google.com/p/plan9front/ >>> >>> - Andreas >> >> Why this? What's wrong with plan9?

I have the most recent version. Still doesn't work. Also, last night(2 days?) someone posted a .pdf about *nix, a fork of plan9 which has a unique feature where cores are dedicated to certain functions like timing, OS, and user programs. Any idea where I can find it? Code, .iso, or anything rea
