[geeks] Menuet

[William S.]

The fourth version of Plan9 was made earlier this

I used it for a while on a single pc although it too
is said to be better run in unison, with separate file and cpu servers.
Then using other boxes as terminals.

Acme is my favorite feature of the OS. Worth trying out
and playing with.
