Note there will be no small group discussions today (or group reports). First half of class will be a lecture on the readings, second half of class will be a review for the midterm.

Readings

Plan 9 & Inferno (no group report)

Discussion Questions

  • Why did the creators of UNIX make Plan 9? What was their key inspiration?
  • How does Plan 9 differ from UNIX originally? How has that line been blurred over time?
  • Why was Inferno created? Was there any external simulus?
  • What are the key ideas behind Styx?
