This is coming 'late in the game', and not a correction, but page two:

- Would it be advantageous, since you do list Slowlaris, to also 
position the threading model of a couple of other still-prominent UNIX 
variants?

AIX5-L in particular, plus perhaps HP-UX / True64.

I think it would show DragonFly's goal-model very favorably vs legacy 
'Big Iron'.


Page 11.

I *shudder* when I see the word 'distro', as it implies Linanarchy - 
where items seem to be collected on the whim of any of 200+ entities.

The BSD's have traditionally been more of a 'whole' system, where 
everything needed is there, tested at soem point in time, and proven to 
work together.

Despite code changes and a tilt toward binary vs source dissemination, I 
have seen no departure from that proven model.

Can a word be found that better reflects BSD-style cohesiveness? 
'Releases' comes first to my mind....

Page 12.

Any way to juggle that so as to sqeeze in an extra half-line spacing 
between the rows?  Very eye-confusing as it is now.
Optionally - put in a descriptor of what each one is, take an extra page 
or two if need be...

Just my HKD .02
