Today, I am looking at Plan 9 from Bell Labs, the next generation operating system to follow on to UNIX. It was designed to fix the flaws in UNIX and address the new business problems of distributed computing using inexpensive workstations, intelligent terminals and remote access from the Internet. The other areas Plan 9 addressed was replacing X11 with 8 1/2 a kernel level GUI for Plan 9. I am not covering 8 1/2 in this video, since I ran out of time to cover it, look for a future video discussing that topic.
