Hi 9fans. I think I wrote my Advanced Namespace Tools message in an unclear way. Let me try again.
I have some new software for Plan 9. It is based on manipulating namespaces. The 9pcram kernel has a new bootup which lets it control multiple independent namespaces. It is the foundation for a collection of tools which manipulate namespace. I think it adds useful new features to Plan 9 and also solves some existing issues. This project, Advanced Namespace Tools, is an attempt to make something of high quality which lives up to the Plan 9 standard and also extends what Plan 9 can do. I have created bootable VM images, tutorials for the software, and extensive documentation. I have been using and testing it myself every day and I believe it is genuinely useful. ants.9gridchan.org is served with 9p, ftp, and http and has the software itself antfarm.9gridchan.org/Overview and related pages have tutorials for pre-installed ANTS vms 9gridchan.org has links to 2 vm images, one tiny (6mb) and one fully installed (132mb) which can be used to explore the Advanced Namespace Tools. I'd really like to discuss these things with other Plan 9 users - I'm friendly and even though my software is called ANTS, I don't think it will actually bite you. -Ben Kidwell "mycroftiv"
