In the sense that GNU aims to be a similar to UNIX operating system, but not UNIX, it is almost the same thing than Plan9. But now I was talking about glibc and the GNU tools, you could read http://harmful.cat-v.org/cat-v/ to get the idea, or some info pages. >> every initiative to remove GNU from the world has my vote.

The old UNIX utilities or Plan9 ones have a simplicity which GNU lacks. I don't have anything against the GPL license, but I prefer less restrictive licenses. And, of course, I don't like rms. -- - yiyus || JGL .
