Why did you choose DragonFly?

Moin,

well, I have a lot of reasons:

- At first, I was surprised how easy it was to get patches etc. accepted
  in the DragonFly repo
- The vkernel is really useful for giving CS courses at the university.
  Its about hacking a real OS kernel and not some kind of OS Java
  simulator.  And recompiling a vkernel is only a matter of seconds.
  Furthermore debugging the vkernel is more comfortable that debugging a real
  kernel.
- DragonFly has no problems to cut old ties, i.e. just throw old things
  out of base.
- I really like the community and all developers around.  Feels a bit
  like a big family, especially when a bunch of us meets annually at the
  CCC congress ;) <- HINT

Cheers

	Matthias
