Well, if you people keep throwing bleeding edge software and tech at me, I'm
going to keep adding to my to-research list. Keep them coming! Is there a
list of next gen/experimental OS's for me to look into? Again, my school is
behind so far with everything CS and programming.

Thanks a lot.

microsoft has a research op
It's just a kernel (plus a couple of adapted/new libraries) You can
run a std Plan 9 system on top of it.
However, as it is now, it's only useful for experimenting.
It's a fast moving target these days.

the tls stuff was already solved like years ago with a
kernel patch that adds gdt and ldt manipulation
thru /dev/gdt and /dev/ldt.
http://9hal.ath.cx/usr/cinap_lenrek/segdescpatch.tgz
its probably out of date now and needs adaption.
its already on the todo for 9front... :)

Proving again that any word can be verbed.
Plan9 is my desktop at work and I drawterm in to a plan9 server at home.
I use plan9 for everything except web browsing,
for which I VNC onto a windows box.
somtimes some things are a little difficult on plan9,
but I find most things harder on other OSs.

yes, it's unfortunte. most code is loopy. we just can't figure out what
they were thinking.

Not for web browsing and not for office doc processing,
but I use it as my main OS for most tasks, including papers,
docs and slides (using troff for that).
Is there anybody out there using Plan 9 as their primary operating system for
typical user tasks such as web browsing, word processing etc.
I'm shopping for a new operating system for my trailing edge hardware, and my
heart and my head cannot agree on how much effort I should devote into adopting
Putting on my GPU architect hat for a minute...
It's generally *not* true that a GPU element is more power efficient than
regular core. The GPU relies heavily on having many work elements to compute
simultaneously that follow the same control paths. Divergence in that control

AMD and IBM/Sony think a bit different with their Fusion and Cell

A system running more hardware will, for all practical purposes, use more
energy. What this would do is increase the efficiency of that power use.
Say you're using a single threaded indexing program, and its indexing a very
slow medium. Why use a CPU processor when you can idle them, and idle mos
