    Mate of mine got taught about it in Uni. Apparently, it's the
successor of UN*X: it's done by Bell Labs, and so on and so forth. I
think the most interesting feature is that it will distribute
computing resources across a network. As such, it would be of little
use for a single computer. As far as I can remember, it was highly
experimental stuff.

    It'd be interesting to see what you think of it.
