i was flipping through tanenbaum's "modern operating systems - 3e"
(2008) and couldn't find any mention of plan9, inferno or 9p. how
modern is that!?

I had an older edition and I don't remember seeing any references in

They're in my book.

that depends on one's definition of "modern". i believe the plan 9 guys
and tanenbaum had a difference of opinion. cf.

I thought that Plan 9 was mentioned in "modern operating systems",
I read it in 2002, but maybe was in the distributed systems one

"Operating Systems Design and Implementation, 3rd Edition" doesn't mention
it, but it's the MINIX (ah, MINIX 3) book anyway. "Modern Operating
Systems, 2nd Edition" contains not even a reference. "Computer Networks,
4th Edition" doesn't mention 9P at all--RPC's there, though.

Cool!
