Hello, Sorry for the question out of the blue, but I'm curious to know why DragonFly is required knowledge for the BSDA. I've got a good few years under my belt with Free and OpenBSD, and wouldn't object to perusing NetBSD for the exam, but isn't DragonFly still a long way away from production? And, isn't it sufficiently different from other, more established flavours to significantly affect the result of an exam if a candidate *doesn't* know about it? I'm not imagining I can change anything at this late stage, I'm just curious to know!
If you carefully review the exam objectives for the BSDA, you'll find very little DragonflyBSD differences--in fact, you'll see a lot of its FreeBSD heritage as well as the upcoming pkgsrc inherited from NetBSD. IIRC, there was only one entry in the Appendix A chart that applied uniquely to DragonflyBSD.
