Plan 9 Wiki D1405841181 Aglenda # #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. # #Plan 9 is applying to [GSoC]! # #[Overview] of what makes Plan 9 From Bell Labs special, and [what do #people like about plan 9]. # #[Wiki index] - Alphabetical index of wiki pages # #Get Plan 9. # * [Download] Plan 9. # * [Staying up to date] # #Learn Plan 9. # * [FAQ] # * [Documentation] # * [Supported PC hardware], [other hardware], [virtual machines] # * [Release notes | http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sys/doc/release4.html] # * [Installation instructions] # * [Online Manual pages | http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sys/man/] [man # pages mirror | http://man.cat-v.org/plan_9/] # * For Unix users: [Unix to Plan 9 command translation] # * For students with homework assignments, see # [http://lsub.org/who/nemo/papers.html] # #Use Plan 9. # * [News] # * [Software for Plan 9] # * [Tip o' the day] # * [Contrib index] # * [Sources repository] # * [Integration with other OSs] # * [errata] # #Learn the differences.
