Hi Guys:

 I am only a member of SEMI-Bug, I do not post those warnings. Michael
Lucas, author of Absolute FreeBSD, is the owner and head of SEMI-Bug.
His wife is a nurse at a hospital and has seen a lot of COVID cases. I
guess this is the reason for the admonitions. I have very little
control over the content of the website. My sole mission is to find
presenters for *BSD and related topics (programming, data bases, etc.).
 
 I did download an ISO of DragonFly BSD and run it as a live eval CD.
It works great! I am more desirous now to get someone from your group
to give a presentation on DragonFly BSD. The reason is hardly anyone I
know has much experience with it. For me, the most important aspects
to learn about DeagonFly BSD are:

1) Hammer and the evolution to Hammer2
2) How to install and configure X
3) Proprietary drivers for chipsets and where to get them?
4) The packages ports / system. 

Anyway, I have friends who attend SEMI-Bug and are experienced
computer people and would really like to know more about this
operating system. If anyone can give a short presentation on how to
install DragonFly BSD and get X working, then that would be great.
