Re: [9fans] What are you using Plan 9 for?

As of February Go supports Plan 9, according to David du Colombier. I was doing 
some projects with Go and shot him an email around that time.

I think a lot of people discover Plan 9 and want it to be something it isn’t, 
rather than stumble upon it out of necessity. As the FQA says, “Plan 9 is not 
for you."

Re: [9fans] Inferno hosted for browser

[N. S. Montanaro]

This made me curious enough to install Inferno and give it a go. Since I know 
next to nothing about its architecture consider this a cursory finding.

It appears ‘os’ executes the commands given to it on the host system as the 
user who started the Inferno emulator. Running Chromium through the ‘os’ 
command leads to the process showing up normally and belonging to the user who 
executed the Inferno emulator.

So it doesn’t seem like any sandboxing is provided by running applications on 
the host machine in this way.

Re: [9fans] 9front: Trouble installing packages using contrib system

[N. S. Montanaro]

Under 9front, try the following steps:

% mkdir -p /dist/replica/client
% 9fs sources
% /n/sources/contrib/fgb/root/rc/bin/contrib/install -f fgb/contrib

Then, of course,

% contrib/gui

if you want the minimal GUI to install packages.

Cheers,
