- protomyth 4y agoOn a serious note, I dearly wish someone had taken the lessons of OpenVMS into the open source world. Its clustering is amazing.

- protomyth 4y agohttps://vmssoftware.com/products/clusters/ https://vmssoftware.com/products/clusters/ We had machines in two buildings with multiple machines in the cluster. You could upgrade machines in a cluster and not lose any time. I thought DragonflyBSD is trying to head in that direction with storage (HAMMER).

- aliqot 4y agoLatest release was 2 months ago.
- mburee 4y agoAs much as i love Plan9, it's in dire need of bugfixes if you're gonna expose it to the net. Last official release was ~15 years ago
