08:44 -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-www.theregister.com | New version of Plan 9 fork 9front released The Register
08:44 schestowitz; <blockquote>
08:44 schestowitz; <p>9front is a fork and continuation of Plan 9 from Bell Labs, which is what the minds behind UNIX and the C programming language went on to do next. It is also rather strange.</p>
08:44 schestowitz; <p>The Golden Age of Ballooning is the rather inscrutable name of the latest release from the 9front project. 9front is one of several projects that continues work on the Plan 9 operating system, which was relicensed under the GPL in 2014. Plan 9, or more formally (and nowadays somewhat inaccurately, since it was spun off from Bell Labs last year) Plan 9 from Bell Labs is a research operating system.</p>
