HAMMER1 on DragonflyBSD runs well with little memory, including running dedup. It also has the binary pkg system just like FreeBSD. Also, the DRM drivers are up to date and support current Intel GPUs.
- krylon 10y agoHuh. I had not really looked closely at DragonFly in a while. I had briefly looked at it when setting up my new server, but the fact that HAMMER does not deal with redundancy itself made me stick with FreeBSD/ZFS. On a laptop, however (with an Intel GPU) that is not an issue, as there is only one disk, anyway. I might have to take a look over the summer.
- cgag 10y agoRedundancy as advanced as ZFS can do would be sweet, but if you're ok with something simple, like a two disk setup, you can put a PFS on each and stream one disk to the other.

DPorts is FreeBSD ports with a few patches, and pkg in DragonflyBSD is pkg from FreeBSD. > Also, the DRM drivers are up to date and support current Intel GPUs. I believe FreeBSD is integrating that work itself. Intel GPU support on Dragonfly is pretty great.
