The only thing it's missing is drivers for modern hardware, but it will run great on a VM or a free computer found on the side of the road.

The GUI is simple and beautiful, and once you get over the fact that it's NOT UNIX it's really nice to use.

I've used both Haiku and Plan9, to me there's no difference to operating systems really, they all do the same things pretty much, except Windows 7 that have
that go that extra mile that really really maters when it comes down to business.
That's it.

If I had a time machine and wanted to be nice, I would go back to Bell Labs in 1969, show them an Ipad, and tell them ``this runs UNIX''.

If I had a time machine and wanted to be mean, I would go back to Bell Labs in 1989, show them an Ipad, and tell them ``this runs UNIX''.

That is incredibly cool.

There's a tool out there to translate a 9p server to FUSE, but I don't think FUSE supports all the operations to map a FUSE server to 9p.

>>42
i dont get the 1989 part

>>43

That's when they were writing Plan 9 as a UNIX successor.

>>42
If I had a time machine and wanted to be mean, I would go back to Bell Labs in 19xx, show them an Ipad, and tell them ``this only runs one app at a time''.

BATCH PROGRAMMING is the future!

Sheer brilliance,

The only thing it's missing is drivers for modern hardware, but it will run great on a VM or a free computer found on the side of the road.
If drivers are an issue has Plan 9 been ported to ARM boards like RasPi or BeagleBoard?

>>49
RasPi
Mandatory binary blob senses tingling!

>>50
Really? What for?

>>51
The boot process is fairly awkward and requires a humongous binary blob to be loaded before control is given to the operating system.  Given my advanced case of paranoia, I fear that that binary blob might secretly contain software that violates my privacy (it would be very difficult to check, since the GPU architecture specs haven't been published).

>>52
How odd, though I suppose no different to the BIOS on any standard PC.

>>53
The beagleboard(/pandaboard?) doesn't have the same issue (though you can't drive the 3D accelerator without binary blobs).

>>52
Don't connect the network cable, problem solved. I'd assume it has no radio to transmit information.

>>55
Then how am I going to shitpost on C:\prog\?

>>56
Become a productive citizen and give up the internet. You will be surprised how infrequent the internet is actually needed.
but I need to look up stuff for information's sake
You can download a tarball of the Wikipedia database (about 20GB last I checked) and plug it into Mediawiki/MySQL/PHP a local server. The MSDN library is about 3GB. You can also write scrapers for sites like EnterpriseOverflow and sync your collections whenever you find a connection.
but I need email
Just check it at work/school only, where there is a connection. If it's really urgent, people can call you (btw all you need is a non-smart cell phone, better yet a prepaid one for max privacy).
but I need social networking
No you don't.
but I need to read and post on chans
No you don't.
but where will I get my music?
Just horde once a month or some such interval where you dedicate one day to synchronizing your local copies of various informative websites.

Congratulations, you just saved the cost of a home internet connection!

>>57
you just saved the cost
I'm actually leeching my neighbours' wireless.  Suits them for using WEP.

>>58
There are also psychological costs.

>>58
Look up reaver for getting into the WPA ones once the WEP one disappears.

>>60
I've already cracked two networks with reaver, but thanks anyway :)

Anybody know a way to install plan9 on an USB stick? I did it once but it didnt work.

I also tried to copy the image on the USB stick but that didnt work either.

My target PC has no HDD and i dont want to sacrifice a CD for something i dont even know if it will work.

Plan 9 ``graphical interface'' requires a fucking MOUSE.  I'm happy with Arch and XMonad.

>>63
I'd like to port some tiling WM to Inferno.

Because it didn't work on any fucking machine I tried, even a virtual machine.

>>65
It' works fine on Windows 7.

>>63
XMonad
not a humongous faggot

>>67
No.

Why aren't you using plan9front?

C++ is a good language. It is not a perfect language because it inherits from C. C is a flawed language where many things are left undefined. C is an ancient artifact that serves no purpose outside of the domain of kernel design. Because of the improvements made upon C to form C++, beginning programmers and veteran programmers alike may be led astray, thinking that modern C usage is a good idea. It is a mistake to believe the success of C++ justifies the continued use and popularity of C. Just because C++ is successful does not mean the language it has inherited from is of high quality.
