    The logo looks neat but the name is way too long to pronouce in conversation.

    Maybe they could name it Firebird. Oh wait...

    Keep in mind that the DragonFly *USERLAND* is still primarily FreeBSD-4.xish (though with all the C99 stuff from FreeBSD-5 integrated), so anything that runs on 4.x will run on DFly with only minor tweaking.

    Now I'm really tempted to switch to BSD. Can't beat a system with integrated C99

    Isn't it bad Karma for an OS to have a BUG as their mascot?
