Greetings :-) ..I am currently in a deep exploration of operating systems. windows->ubuntu->guix&openbsd, with many more tried en-route. now I'm hearing about plan9 and oberon. So, plan9 is the bees-knees? People daydream wistfully about a world where it dominates.. So.. shall we get on with it? :-) Unfortunately, I go to the wiki for instructions on installing it ( https://plan9.io/wiki/plan9/Installation_instructions/index.html), and find: "Beware: in the manner of wikis most everywhere, this one is woefully out of date. <https://plan9.io/wiki/plan9/Beware:_in_the_manner_of_wikis_most_everywhere,_this_one_is_woefully_out_of_date.>" ..this is not encouraging. In fact, it stops me in my tracks and causes me to write this e-mail instead.
..I currently have three computers. Dell Latitudes e7450 and e7440, and a Thinkpad T430. I am open to buying another one if there is a particular one that is recommended for plan9. I can get another more-or-less-realiable T430 for ~150 can. ..I might poke around trying to follow the given instructions.. but my instinct says that I won't, not without more assurance of support. ..You may be wondering how I heard about plan9 in the first place. Keep in mind, hearing about it and becoming convinced it's worth investigating, are two different things. I credit, in historical order, "The Art of Unix Programming", Suckless, and vis (the editor). vis are the people whose documentation prodded me into seriously checking it out. (..Of course, now that I search specifically for plan9, I get plenty of hits..) Cheers, Michael :-) ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/Tf075600980be0e2b-M6186b9e88bd705391d7a3c36 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
