资 源 简 介
Plan 9 from Bell Labs is an operating system originally designed to continue the systems research by the group within Bell Labs that created Unix. Over approximately two decades of continuous development, the modern system finds application in a wide range of environments, from supercomputing to embedded systems. The ideas found in Plan 9 have influenced the design of other systems, both direct spin-offs such as Inferno, Plan 9 from User Space, and 9vx, and indirect transfers, such as Linux"s v9fs network file system. Plan 9 saw a limited release in 1992 and a public, commercial release in 1995. The third release, in 2000, saw the fruit of much work on the part of the technical contributors inside Bell Labs to create a freely available full source release. With the fourth edition in 2002, the license was revised to the current OSI-approved Lucent Public License. Our Open Source community has been growing ever since.
