I will try to answer here and now.
The purpose of my question(s) is because I believe DragonFly BSD is
not adequately represented in the easily accessible (main page and
pages directly linked from it)
I got interested in DragonFly early on because of the stated goals. It was
exciting to see a BSD project that was really trying to advance the kernel.
I started replacing more and more of my machines with DF until I had only
one holdout, an OpenBSD machine for pf, and then that one got replaced
Since the very beginning, the goals are high: async messaging, lwkt, SSI.
Later came HAMMER, dma, vkernels.
Waiting eagerly for recent locking changes to stablize (and to upgrade my
home server)
And, sure, for smooth operation on my 2.4GHz P4 with 512MB RAM (ok, it has
1.5Gig for a month or so)
Moin,
well, I have a lot of reasons:
- At first, I was surprised how easy it was to get patches etc. accepted
in the DragonFly repo
- The vkernel is really useful for giving CS courses at the university.
Its about hacking a real OS kernel and not some kind of OS Java
simulator. And

Hi.
I don't remember why I ended up using DragonFly, it certainly wasn't
because of fancy project goals and such, but I do remember my venture
into BSD land started on IRC, something like this:
luxh: hi. which is the best distro?
@coolguy: none. all the cool guys use freebsd
luxh: what's that?

I think our ability to advertise our features has been a bit lacking.
We're programmers more than we are salesman.
Take device serial numbers in devfs for example. A simple feature that
gives one a guaranteed device path to access a physical hard drive,
