Sure. Once you have a system up and running, great (and I'm not sure I've actually seen that described in any intro document). However, I'm talking about the scenario where you know absolutely nothing because you want to find out what this Plan 9 thing, and are starting from scratch trying to get an initial installation booted on hardware that may or may not be completely supported in the first place, and have no idea what you're doing, but the few follow-by-rote walkthroughs aren't quite working, and everything uses the #<foo> names.
