Comment on Plan 9 from Bell Labs

Comments

Although I am a fan of plan 9 in general, I don't really see how posting a link to the Wikipedia article is useful.

I have a question about it: can anyone tell how it deals with redundancy?

It seems to be distributed. If you are running Plan 9 on 3 machines, and one goes down, what happens to the rest of the system. Does it become unavailable?

A lot of people don't know anything about Plan 9.

Sure, but is Hacker _News_ really the place to learn?

Sure. It's been stated many times that Hacker News is for anything that might be interesting to hackers, not just "news" (anything that happened relatively recently.)
