Other than that, I know what it is, but never used it (although Ken Thompson was a mate of mine years ago), so I thought a poor attempt at humour was more appropriateWhen freedom comes along, don't PISH in the water supply.....Comment

While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

Yes, I've played around with Plan 9 circa 2006 in emulation (qemu) and it was almost useless but only because I didn't see the point. I am told Plan 9 is/was a revolutionary idea. I am not sure what will go on now that Dennis M. Ritchie has died.
Anyone using it in a commercial environment? I am not sure. I struggle to find anybody in the commercial environment who can understand the basics of Unix/Linux/BSD, let alone Plan 9!<Insert idea here> will never be adopted because the politicians are in the pockets of the banks!Comment
