@p I tried plan 9, but it didn't even have GNU Emacs, so I concluded it was no good.

>that is 364MB and, being a NETINST image, it doesn't even come with anything.
The version I ran was full of GNU Emacs, GNU nano and a Xorg server.

364MiB fits on a CD just fine, so it certainly isn't too large.

You can only have an ultimate free software operating system if you include GNU.

>the install media includes GPL'd source
Only the 2014 version was released under the GPLv2-only, later version were sadly released under the weak MIT expat; http://p9f.org/license.html

>the basic utilities don't second-guess you or try to internationalize /bin/true
Unless utilities can output usage instructions and the license, in Japanese too if you wish, they're no good.


Is this god's holy rainbow?
