Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I was checking out the Inferno Web page http://inferno.lucent.com. For those who are not familiar with this, it is a distributed OS/platform similar in concept to Java being developed at Bell Labs by the team that developed Plan 9. Well, I saw that it was available for several Unix platforms as well as that Windows trash. FreeBSD was not listed as one of the supported platforms. So I decided to take the oportunity to use their suggestion link and put in the suggestion that they do a FreeBSD port. Well, I got a response back from Phil Winterbottom (One of Bell Labs finest) stating that I was the first to make this request, and if there was enough interest in a FreeBSD port that they would do one. Well, are WE interested? If so, use their suggestion box and lets get a FreeBSD port of Inferno. Thanks, Darren
