    The name's too long. DragonFlyBSD? Come on! I'm not even sure where to capitalize the letters! It's bad enough the "OpenBSD" is as long as "FreeBSD", but spoken it's an extra syllable. I'll stick with NetBSD. Yeah. Nice and short!

    righties sure know how to kill everything that's not a fetus.

    Ironically, lefties know how to save anything that's not. Personally, I don't think either stance makes much sense.
