The developers started from several basic assumptions: that CPUs are very cheap but that we don't really know how to combine them effectively; that *good* networking is very important; that an intelligent user interface is a Right Decision; that existing systems are not the correct way to do things, and in particular that today's workstations are not the way to go. + +## Relevance with permacomputing + +The Plan 9 system is probably one of the fastest and most complete [[operating system]] for the [[Raspberry Pi]] devices. It comes bundled with all the [[software]] and [[documentation]] required to understand its inner workings. + +"An argument for simplicity and clarity." + +— Rob Pike
