Hello!
My name is Kyrre Nygård and I'm a student at the University of Bergen,
Norway, currently doing this school research project trying to document
the next generation of operating systems that is starting to emerge
across the world. Plan9 is to me one of the most interesting projects,
however I was surprised not to find a group of developers on the
Freenode or OFTC IRC networks. Luckily I found this mailinglist, so I'll
just go ahead and ask.
I'm not sure how important they may be to you, but I would be
very interested in looking at the kernel output (e.g. dmesg in BSD) just
to see what I might expect. And also, if possible, a listing of the
Plan9 hierarchy? Preferably using this file listing script:
http://paste.husk.org/6847. Anyway I hope it differs from the utterly
complex Filesystem Hierarchy Standard, which may seem logical to brain
washed software developers, but to normal people pure madness.
namespace(4) tries to explain the various directories in Plan 9.

Install or run the livecd should let you play around, read docs,
etc. so you can answer your question yourself.
