Greets all. If I may please, i'm a plan9 newbie. Don't know a thing about writing code or programming, nor do I know anything about networking other than what dhcp does for me. Thusly, i'm just a "user". I enjoy figuring out everything I can on my own when possible, having learnt alot from so many years of Slackware and FreeBSD.
Truthfully, I just need help understanding how to do one thing. Installing other softwares. How do I take something (say from the sources index on the plan9 homesite) and install it? I can't find an equivalent to anything like pkg_add or the classic configure/make/make install type of thing. Thank you in advance for your help folks. Truly. I prefer minimalism in my interface and considering (what I see) to be the pure beauty of the plan9 interface and design, I hope I can someday make it my everyday OS. In short; nice to meet ya :) Hope I can become as proficient here as alot of you are. --Q
