i recently replied to a question about how plan 9 compared to Linux.
this prompted an important addition from rob, and comments from several
others.  whilst i was considering the question further last night,
including the replies about Mach and NetBSD, it occurred to me that
i might have given a terse, yet general reply to the question
that accurately conveys the essential difference between plan 9
and other candidates.

so, i'll have another go.

>>How is it compared to ...?
plan 9 is cool.
