If you're talking about security, and regarding namespaces as a coarse-grained capability system, it was late to the game.

I think they mean the networking (everything is a file on the network.) This wasn’t adopted but Fuse etc have brought that functionality to Linux. If you really want to model plan9 on Linux there’s an app for that that runs atop Linux.

Heaven knows what someone conflating cgroups and namespaces means in connexion with Qubes. Anyway, if you want to know what I mean, read the paper "Security in Plan 9". "Linux" is irrelevant, and the various Plan 9 stuff-on-Unix efforts surely aren't going to improve the security of the OS.

>>gnufx+CX
You are the one who mentioned security, not the other user. My point was I don’t think they were referring to security as Plan9s most famous features very much have made their way into every major OS out there.

>>edgyqu+Q53
I was going by the top of the thread and choosing to assume the rest wasn't just non sequitor. I don't actually see all resources in GNU/Linux (for instance) available for me to mount remotely into my namespace via a uniform protocol.
