	Inferno Thin Client White Paper
		Inferno is a distributed operating system, and as such, it facilitates distributed application development in a natural way.
		Inferno's distributed computing capabilities result from two simple yet powerful core tenets: every resource in the system, either local or remote, is represented by a hierarchical file system; and a user or process assembles a private view of the system by constructing a file name space that connects these resources.
		Inferno applications can be so dynamic that the physical distribution of resources between local and remote can be altered between one run and the next without the application code ever being aware of this change.

	Inferno
		Inferno is a compact operating system designed for building distributed and networked systems on a wide variety of devices and platforms.
		Each Inferno system presents an identical environment to the applications, irrespective of the underlying host OS or architecture, allowing the developer to work with a truly homogeneous environment across multiple different platforms.
		Inferno is not only an operating system, it is also a complete development environment, providing all the tools necessary for creating, testing and debugging the applications that run within it.

	File system Summary
		File systems may use a storage device such as a hard disk or CD-ROM and involve maintaining the physical location of the files, or they may be virtual and exist only as an access method for virtual data or for data over a network (e.g.
		Microsoft Windows developed out of an earlier operating system (MS-DOS which in turn was based on QDOS and that on CP/M-80, which took many ideas from still earlier operating systems, notably several from DEC), and has added both file system and user interface ideas from several other sources since its first release (Unix, OS/2, etc).
		Particular Installable File System drivers may place restrictions of their own on file and directory names; and particular and operating systems may also place restrictions of their own, across all filesystems.

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Inferno (operating system)
		The name of the operating system and of its associated programs, as well as of the company Vita Nuova that produced it, were inspired by the literary heritage of Dante Alighieri, particularly the Divine Comedy.
		Inferno runs in hosted mode under several different operating systems or natively on a range of hardware architectures.
		The Inferno 4th edition was released in early 2005 as Free Software under a mixture of Open Source licenses (GPL, LGPL, Lucent Public or MIT License, depending on the component).

	Lucent brews Inferno - Java World
		Some feel that this gives Inferno an edge since many of the functions such as security are built right into the operating system at the most basic level.
		Inferno does have a full-blown operating system and a virtual machine and a protocol stack, and in a lot of respects is something Java would like to be when it grows up.
		"Inferno is a unique network operating system that adapts to whatever you plug into it -- from a high-end workstation to an inexpensive hand-held device," noted Dennis Ritchie, one of the developers of C and currently head of system software research at Lucent.

	Interview with Vita Nuova CEO Michael Jeffrey - OSNews.com
		The Plan 9 operating system at one level will feel familiar to anyone with a UNIX background; many of the UNIX commands and utilities are available in Plan 9 and programs are written in C. Plan 9 however, is fundamentally different in its structure.
		Inferno on the other hand has been designed such that it can either run as a native OS on bare hardware or as an application on existing operating system platforms (Windows 95,98,2000,NT, Linux, Solaris and others).
		To confront this, Inferno can run as an application on existing systems establishing precisely the same environment that it would if it were the native operating system running on bare hardware.

	The Inferno Operating System
		Inferno is intended to be used in a variety of network environments, for example those supporting advanced telephones, hand-held devices, TV set-top boxes attached to cable or satellite systems, and inexpensive Internet computers, but also in conjunction with traditional computing systems.
		Inferno draws heavily on the design of the Plan 9 operating system [1] in the way it presents resources to these applications.
		Inferno is, to the extent possible, written in standard C and most of its components are independent of the many operating systems that can host it.

	Will Lucent's new Inferno OS catch on? - SunWorld - March 1997
		Inferno, announced just over a year ago and in beta since September, was first seen by some observers to be a competitor to Sun Microsystems Inc.'s Java platform.
		Lucent announced one Inferno customer today, OmniBox Inc. of Stamford, CT, that plans to use the operating system in set-top boxes for a planned interactive television service that will be launched this year.
		Inferno's flexibility -- using its virtual machine, applications can run on a number of different platforms -- was one key factor in their decision.

	Lucent spinoff Vita Nuova releases Inferno OS source
		With Inferno, developing distributed applications and integrating with legacy systems is radically simplified through a revolutionary approach whereby all resources on a network are represented as files and accessed with basic file operations (open, close, read, write) familiar to any programmer.
		Inferno is a complete solution composed of a virtual operating system, safe concurrent language, fundamental protocol, and portable development environment.
		Inferno's distributed computing metaphor represents all resources on a network (data, services, computers, network interfaces and devices) as files in a forest of hierarchical file systems.

		Description: Inferno, created at Lucent Technologies' Bell Labs, is a new operating system that could be the "Unix for the next century." Created by the same research lab that invented C++ and Unix, Inferno's primary goal is to operate seamlessly within a heterogeneous network environment.
		Beyond that, the operating system is portable across many platforms and networks, and applications written in Limbo, the Inferno programming language, are also portable and lightweight.
		Impossible to describe in a single paragraph, the Inferno operating system is a fascinating leap ahead in networking and systems technology.

		In the Inferno environment, operations corresponding to the Unix `stty' primitive are accomplished by writing messages to a control file associated with the file that handles the data.
