ed has a really short man page. Why haven't you learnt how to use ed yet?
>>54381452
It's the assembly of text editors.
>>54381452
Because I'm not using a teletype machine.
I have. I even used it to type this in firefox.
Because I prefer to help Ugandan children.
>>54381452
OP- do you know who designed ed?
do you know what the designer of ed uses now?
>>54381452
ed is the standard text editor.
I know how to use assembly too, but code mostly in higher level languages unless necessary or for shits and giggles
>>54381452
Why bother when there's far superior sed?
>>54381557
sam or acme, which I'm also interested in.
But Plan 9 won't install on my computer since it doesn't recognise my SSD
>>54381624
well, one works on buffers and the other works on streams...thus the names.
>>54381638
Install plan9port you shitcorn fuck
>>54381638
plan 9 is ported to the raspi
ed is the standard editor
because posix is a meme
>>54381691
Why use just a partial ported set of applications when there's a kernel too?
>>54381769
posix is UNIX (C)
>>54381772
what good is a kernel if it has no drivers? I don't think plan 9 even installs anymore on modern hardware, everyone installs it on VMs.
>>54381772
Because the web/http killed plan9.
>>54381452
>really short man page.
"info Ed for complete manual"
>>54381928
>implying GNU/Linux
GNU ed is not the one available on OpenBSD, sonny.
>>54381869
Not really. People being unwilling to learn new things killed Plan 9. Plan 9 could have easily supported web browsers and http servers if people actually used Plan 9.
>>54381975
You completely missed the point. There is no need for a distributed OS when the distributed OS IS the web browser/http.
>>54382024
Your analogy isn't very good.
