Other Web Browsers for Bell Labs' Plan 9?

Posted by Cliff on from the seeking-alternative-web-walkers dept.

SeanIBaby asks: "I was wondering if anyone used Plan 9, and Inferno/Charon for a web browser. Are there any other web browsers for Plan 9, or do you have to code your own? I've noticed that Inferno's company sells Plan 9 boxed sets for $150US. I guess this is because they include the Inferno/Charon binaries with the image, even though they let you download Inferno for free from their website. Plan 9 is free from Bell Labs."

    OpenBSD wants the compilers.
    FreeBSD wants the namespaces.
    Everybody wants the plumber only they don't know it yet.
    GNU/Hurd would love to have a working microkernel OS.
    Wake me up when grep, sed & awk and the rest of the bunch work on Unicode!
    Then there are the ports - Wily, 9wm, 9menu
    Gawk's extensions are lifted from the plan9 way.

    The "next big thing" grid computing is old hat to us.

    Don't worry, we'll be waiting for you.
