don't worry, we're working on it http://plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9dist/ Theo occasionally pops by to comp.os.plan9 (last time to "discuss" licences) (he coverts the plan9 compilers) plan9 is an OS research platform some of it's tools have been kind of back-ported to the unix likes (wily, 9wm) I use plan9 as my development platform as it is a delight to use. Don't expect eye candy, it is an OS to get work done. m >Guys (and gals) > > As great as the *BSD's are - why are we not thinking ahead of the curve? >Outside of the box? What do I mean?
