(00:08:04) iz: hi, anyone have any opinions in here about inferno vs plan9, with regard to usability as an actual operating system?
(00:09:15) powerman: iz: you mean "usability" similar to win/lin/mac?
(00:09:44) iz: yeah.. should i just go straight for the 9front fork of plan9?
(00:10:23) iz: or is the experience similarly limited, that i might as well just go straight to inferno?
(00:10:33) powerman: inferno isn't suitable for this. plan9/9front - maybe, I didn't use it
(00:10:53) iz: i'm curious about the VM stuff, but i'm not sure how different inferno is from plan9 besides that
(00:12:00) powerman: inferno suitable for embedded devices and as runtime for your apps on host os like linux (like JVM)
(00:12:33) powerman: native inferno on x86 isn't really useful
(00:13:22) powerman: it works, but I can't imagine real server or desktop working on native x86 inferno
(00:13:54) iz: cool, ty for your input on this, it's been helpful to me
