== Description ==
{{main|Plan 9 from Bell Labs}}
As an effort of independent community-driven development of Plan 9 from Bell Labs, 9front retained all the features of the original operating system. It is a [[free software]] [[distributed operating system]] based on resources generalization by using [[9P]] protocol for accessing local and remote resources as files
 (in Plan 9, all system interfaces, including those required for networking and the user interface, are represented through the file system rather than specialized interfaces). It also features [[union mount]]s, [[procfs|proc]] file system, and native [[unicode]] support throughout the system.
