> I love plan9 esp. sam and acme which I use extensively. I can't mix those two, although occasionally I have to. Acme is my choice, Sam has one advantage: Acme just can't operate remotely the way Sam can, from Plan 9 native, a feature I greatly miss. > It is great to know that there is a fellow South African on the group. > You will understand the loud shedding problems too I presume! Yes, nothing Plan 9 can do about that, sadly. Although Acme's automatic "dump" on failure or disconnection has saved me quite a lot of load shedding-induced frustration. I've been using Plan 9 since 1995, you wouldn't be able to pry it from my cold, dead hands. I'm not an expert, like many others on 9fans and its siblings, but I would find it hard to manage without its services.
