#PLAN 9 FROM BELL LABS
#
#Initially developed by the people who devised Unix at Bell Labs,
#Plan 9 took OS development back into the realm of research. Plan 9
#development continues to challenge the concept of the operating
#system, reworking the whole idea using modern concepts and
#technology.
#
#Plan 9 is not Unix. If you think of it as Unix, you may become
#frustrated when something doesn't exist or when it works differently
#than you expected. If you think of it as Plan 9, however, you'll
#find that most of it works very smoothly, and that there are some
#truly neat ideas that make things much cleaner than you have seen
#before.
