The TeX bundle for Plan 9 dates from 1999 or so, IIRC. I'm told it works well despite it's age but don't recall details, sorry. There is Linux application support, I have seen a screenshot which included Firefox; quite astonishing. I think only limited attention is paid to Linux app support as for many the whole point of using Plan 9 is to avoid the planet-sized amount of cruft un*x has accumulated, but it's there if you need it. -- Ethan Grammatikidis Those who are slower at parsing information must necessarily be faster at problem-solving.
