What, no mentions of Dragonfly BSD?

Periods have been rocky, but amazingly ambitious, nice features, ran
very well for me, and seems a lot more careful and thoughtful than other
OS projects.

On the other hand... it is taking on a huge task, so I am hoping it can
get the kind of supported needed to test and audit something that
ambitious, and help move it along.

But think about it... single OS and filesystem spread across hardware of
your own choice: like a BSD build-your-own Origin supercomputer.
