[UFO Chicago] Plan 9

[Jesse Becker]

It's....different.

A lot different.

It is actually used on several NAS boxes I have.  There isn't a full install--no GUI, very limited userspace, but the way of thinking about *everything* is completely strange (relative to The Unix Way).  I suppose this is mostly due to lack of the common userspace tools that I'm used to, but even so...
