When people talk about liking ZFS, they are often referring to the DWIMmy tools for using it; Hammer has a lot of features that could be shown that way. A bit harder with Hammer 2 on the way, but not a bad goal. - DragonNAS. - Freshports adapted to dports. - mdocml used to replace our online man pages. - A DragonFly image with preinstalled packages - similar to the GUI image, but set up with monitoring and server utilities instead. There probably could be crazier, but they are useful.
