Hi
Pretty new to this plan 9 OS...have absolutely no experience. Here are
my questions

1. How do you port unix software to Plan 9, or is that not possible?
2. Is the development of this system is still going? Drivers being
updated...etc.etc...or is the project dead..and is left for the
community to do it for them selves like the BeOS
3. Is there a fully Featured web broswer - eg firefox?? available...or
is it just really basic text browsers
4. Can this system play media files...like .avi...divx....
5. There is gcc for plan 9 right??

I know all these questions seem a bit crazy for an ancient system
thats hasn't really caught on with the general whole computer
world....and its only being used as an OS research platform for the
computer science researchers....but it would be cool to have such an
unknown system to work...it just makes you kinda special..everyone
will be using linux bsd, windows or mac...and I'll be like....I'm a
plan 9 user...lol....bet I'll get stared at! most of the will say
"WHAT THE HECK IS PLAN 9"
