TriEdit: Review: DragonFly BSD 1.8.1
March 28th, 2007 by james - "In any case DragonFly BSD certainly has its place and it is nice that is it working to add new technology to the BSD family of operating systems. It isn’t something I would use on a regular basis but maybe the advancements made to DragonFly BSD, if they are really good and worth porting, will make it to the other BSD operating systems and possibly Linux. If you want a BSD that is ready to go for the desktop user, check out PC-BSD instead."
