5#WELCOME TO THE PLAN 9 WIKI
6#
7#This collection of pages contains information pertinent to
8#installing, configuring, and using the operating system [Plan 9 from
9#Bell Labs | http://plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9].
10#
11#This is a [wiki], which means that anyone with a web browser or a
12#Plan 9 installation can edit any of the pages (including this one).
13#If you find a document you believe to be unclear or incomplete, edit
14#that page to fix it. We use a simple [wiki syntax] rather than full
15#HTML, which makes the editing much easier. If you're using a web
16#browser, there is an Edit link at the bottom of the page. If you're
17#using Acme, just edit the text and put the document back.
18#
19#There are also [Acme wiki instructions].
