The older acroreads still work fine on Solaris (SPARC and Intel) and Linux. I have copies saved in case they disappear from the net.

I have an install on HAMMER2 and so far the results are kinda uneven. Firefox and Firefox-esr from binary packages both segfault occasionally. I was happy with the pretty huge number of packages available and not having to choose a mirror makes it easy to get started. user management is way surprising compared to Solaris and OpenBSD, the pw man page is making my eyes hurt ;) I had to bring up a new OS on this box because I'm moving some hardware around. It has two drives so I have dragonfly 5.2.2 on one drive and I'm dual booting Fedora 28 on the other. I have time now to get any issues resolved without pressure. I really would like to get away from Linux as much as possible. It works perfectly well and has tons of features. But I prefer the BSD approach. And I hope HAMMER2 will be a good replacement (for me) for ZFS since Solaris is quickly becoming impossible to use as a desktop although S10 for a server is still quite wonderful. Thanks, /jl
