Even openbsd can do more than that! (are you even still involved with openbsd?). Seriously though, people keep acting like plan 9 is a practical alternative to a unix-like system, and I would love for that to be true. So, I am asking for someone to show me how I can use it that way. If those people are full of it, that's an ok answer. But it isn't my fault people are offering up the slinky as an alternative when someone complains their xbox 360 rrod'ed.
- tedunangst 14y agoI don't think people are suggesting plan9 is a practical alternative. They're just saying it's worth studying and understanding. If people advocate using plan9, it's because understanding comes from experience.
- papsosouid 14y agoI took dexen's original post to be suggesting it as a practical alternative. Reading it over again, it still looks like he is suggesting it as a practical alternative. Perhaps he was being sarcastic and I missed the point.
- tedunangst 14y agoHe's saying if you want to see what real unix looks like, look at plan9. There's nothing in his post to suggest real unix is useful. :)
