i did...for my project in Operating Systems class. hmmmmm...Plan9 was supposed to
be a real NOS, where one computer acts as the cpu server(sharing its computing
power), another is the file server(sharing disks), another is the console (for vga
output), etc. it's the usual the-network-is-the-computer thing.
at first i thought it was neat. installed it on a machine (which was the
everything-server), and i was able to do a login. not much you can do with it at
that time. new interface, new commands (ls syntax is different). it was much like
unix and yet not..and since there wasn't much i can do with it, i eventually
deleted the whole thing. t'was fast and small though, and it gave us (me and my
groupmates) a new perspective on OS.
