I’ve started and thrown out a few drafts of a post about NixOS over the last of couple years. At this point I see blog posts about NixOS so frequently that perhaps there is little left to say.

Recently I ran into a bunch of talk on the web about Plan 9. It reminded me that I had once learned about Plan 9, but had mostly forgotten what the big ideas were. So of course I decided to explore again, and this time actually take notes. As I’ve already written notes down, I’ve decided I might as well make a blog post about what I view as the big ideas of Plan 9.
