Plan 9 is not Unix. If you think of it as Unix, you may become frustrated when something doesn’t exist or when it works differently than you expected. If you think of it as Plan 9, however, you’ll find that most of it works very smoothly, and that there are some truly neat ideas that make things much cleaner than you have seen before.
Confusion is compounded by the fact that many UNIX commands exist on Plan 9 and behave in similar ways. In fact, some of Plan 9’s userland (such as the upas mail interface, the sam text editor, and the rc shell) are carried over directly from Research UNIX 10th Edition. Further investigation reveals that many ideas found in Plan 9 were explored in more primitive form in the later editions of Research UNIX.
However, Plan 9 is a completely new operating system that makes no attempt to conform to past prejudices. The point of the exercise (circa the late 1980s) was to avoid past problems and explore new territory. Plan 9 is not UNIX for a reason.

Je me suis bien fait corriger sur ce point, bien fait pour moi. J'aurais dû commencer par lire la 9FRONT FREQUENTLY QUESTIONED ANSWERS et j'y aurais lu :
« Il vaut mieux mobiliser son intelligence sur des conneries que mobiliser sa connerie sur des choses intelligentes. »
