I would say the primary identifier of BSD systems are their interface with the kernel, the userland, and the license. DragonflyBSD is a true BSD to the kernel; the implementation details may differ, but you can compile most freebsd code for dragonfly with no changes and have it run perfectly (or as well as dragonfly can swing it).
- datashovel 12y agoNot disagreeing, but I found the following quote from the site interesting and helpful to understand where they're coming from: http://www.dragonflybsd.org/docs/howtos/howtonewkerneldeveloper/ http://www.dragonflybsd.org/docs/howtos/howtonewkerneldevelo... "While DragonFly was forked off FreeBSD and has generally quite a few similarities to other *BSD, you definitely cannot rely on understanding FreeBSD to understand what's going on here."
