    Free marketing tip (the first one is always free): if you want to sell an operating system (or make it really wanted), please don't name it 'Inferno'. It doesn't bring really good mental images, now does it. Also, 'Plan9' sounds like a warm hatful of geek humor that's guaranteed to provoke negative reactions in more rigid corporate minds. Sure, these are unusual and interesting names, but there are plenty others that don't generate such bad vibes.



    But hey, it's your company.

    Slashdot is actually selling Karma now?
    That's it, I give up. I'll be sticking to CNN.com from now on.
