hello from czechia.
make plan9 not war :-) there are many un*xes, so we can have many distros of plan9 :-) i have 9front, original plan9 in my virtual machines so i think there's really no problem. and anyone can become creator of new distro and use any code he wants :-) i was thinking about my own czech distro named "TATRAPLAN9", long time ago there was czech automobile called TATRAPLAN :-) so keep it peaceful here :-) a...@plan9.cz ----- Původní zpráva ----- Odesilatel: Michael Misch (michaelmisch1...@gmail.com) Datum: 01/25/24 19:16 Příjemce: 9fans (9fans@9fans.net) Předmět: Re: Charting the Future: Envisioning Plan 9 Release 5 for the 9fans Community.
