Yes. If you keep thinking of Plan 9 as a Unix variant, you're going to be continually upset. It doesn't fit that box. I think that's his problem. If you don't get it, you don't get it. I have some young friends who get it, and they run vx32 all the time. They love it. I showed one guy /net the other day. "See, I can mount /net from elsewhere .. now I'm making sockets on that system". Once he got it, he was pretty excited. Linux is one kernel that doesn't ever quite seem to get it. They now have network namespaces, Woo hoo! But can you mount them? Of course not! how do you name the network stack? Talk about missing the concept ... ron
