Wonderful Operating System
by ems - May 21st 2006 12:39:00
Plan 9, a network operating system, that we should all learn from. It
exploits the true advantages of communication. Using remote hardware or
even remote Internet connections has never been simplier.
One protocol for all everything is the way to go. In Linux you have many
individual protocols to be able to access individual things over a
network. Like for graphics you have the X Windows protocol. But what about
sound? Now you need another protocol for sound! This starts getting complex
and insane.
Using Plan 9 makes you appreciate organization. It puts the system in
operating system.

OSI Approved?

As far as I can tell Plan9 license is not listed on www.opensource.org. Is
it going to be OSI approved?

Before anyone corrects me, the question may have become obsolete since OSI
has finally started to do something about the license issue. See

It is approved by OSI, FSF and Debian Free Software Guidelines. The
license now grants and forces more freedom than GNU GPL which is great.
