Software Update: DragonFly BSD 5.4.3

When thinking of a BSD operating system, most people think of one of the three variants FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD. However, there are several other BSD versions, such as TrueOS and DragonFly BSD. The latter is a fork of FreeBSD 4.8, which came into existence around June 2003. This happened because Matthew Dillon, the project leader of DragonFly BSD, at the time disagree was aware of the chosen development strategy and focus areas of FreeBSD 5. For an overview of DragonFly BSD developments since then, see this page go through. Version 5.4.3 has recently become available, with the following changes:
