Has anyone else tried this, or is Bell Labs too evil for you guys? I'm running it in Qemu.

Plan 9 is old, REALLY old. Originally it was designed to be a successor to Unix, but it wasn't well recieved.

I've toy'd with it a bit in the past but nothing serious, it isn't really suitable to be used as a full blown OS. But if you're interested in getting serious with it theres a few IRC channels out there dedicated to Plan 9 development.

I'm pretty sure I heard about this in the nineties at some point.

Bell Labs is way too evil, that's why we made WeakNet Labs.
