Plan 9 is really somewhat of a sad case. It's a beautiful gem that just exists by itself.

Step 1) Install Plan9 on Raspberry Pi
Step 2) Run the Inferno-OS VM on your primary machine
Step 3) Let your imagination run wild.

On OSX, you'd rather change the
dd line to the much faster:
dd bs=1m if=9pi.img of=/dev/rdisk1

What about the Oberon system, has anyone brought it to Raspberry Pi yet?

Now, take your Raspberry Pi running Plan9, and start setting up Inferno OS on all of your other machines. Let your imagination run wild.

Plan 9 is significantly more recent than Unix: Back when Unix was first invented, graphics existed but there were more kinds of graphics devices, and it wasn't entirely clear that vector graphics, for example, wouldn't become the way forward and deserve the majority of developer attention.

It's amazing how much better xz is at compressing that disk image:

Nicely done, now we need a MULTICS port to the Raspberry Pi, lets get real folks!

I've always like what I've read about Plan 9, nice to see it's kept going.
