I've used FreeBSD at work since 4.11. I switched from Linux. I came across
the DF homepage and found it interesting, then joined all the mailing
lists and never left. What I enjoyed most over the years is the technical
discussions. I very much like the openness of the developer team to try
new ideas, and general politeness to users. Not that using DragonFly has
always been a smooth ride, especially at the start I had all kinds of
issues with it which progressively got fixed, but the community has kept
me in and Im glad because its been a worthy ride since 1.2 when I begun
using it. In particular I'd like to thank Justin for running the blog its
one of the most visited websites for me over the last 5 or so years.
