BTW: I'm currently designing an new mail filesystem which should should allow directly mounting many kind of mail storages and similar things (eg. rss-feeds, nttp-servers, etc, etc). http://oss-qm.metux.de/index.php/9forge/mailfs-ng Maybe you'd like to help a bit :) > >In other words, I am wondering if it is possible to switch to Plan > >9 system, and to use it as 'everyday machine'? Actually, I'm personally not using native Plan9 at all. Instead I'm very interested in doing things the "Plan9-way" on *nix platforms. (eg. using synthethic filesystems for a lot of things and splitting large applications into smaller, independent parts, speaking 9P). BTW: plan9port allows building/running Plan9 programs on *nix systems (eg Linux). Always woth to look at :) cu -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt == metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: http://patches.metux.de/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
