This page is hosted on a Plan 9 server running at the Rochester Institute of Technology. The system is maintained by John Floren under the supervision of Prof. Axel Schreiner. Here's some screenshots of the system in action.
The eventual goal is to provide a Plan 9 system that is accessable by RIT students who are interested in experimenting with the innovations of Plan 9. If you are an RIT student in a CS-related field (CS, SE, CE) and you want an account, please email 'john AT csplan9.rit.edu' from your se.rit.edu or cs.rit.edu account.
If you have a user account, you will probably want to connect using drawterm, which is available for most major operating systems. The proper invocation would be 'drawterm -a csplan9.rit.edu -c csplan9.rit.edu -u [your user name]'. Again, this will only work if you actually have an account. You should probably check out /usr/john/www/RITintro.txt (text version) or /usr/john/www/RITintro.ps (pretty version) for more information on using this system.
See here for latest system news, or check with 'news' on the system.
Here's a copy of the old video that introduces the Blit terminal. You can see definite elements of Plan 9 in it. It seems in some ways a better system than a lot of modern operating systems.
A short text file about setting up Plan B under qemu is located here. No guarantees.
