The only important dot file on my side is dot directory ~/.emacs.d/ and everything inside. Otherwise other dot files belonging to other programs are all user specific. Installing DragonFlyBSD was very easy, it just works. I am using it exclusively because of the HAMMER file system, for two reasons: battery on that notebook is not good any more, and electricity outage in under-developed country are frequent. When system goes down, HAMMER file system makes sure that no data is lost. I don't know how exactly, I just believe it for a while. There is no fsck-ing like on GNU/Linux. And I use on DragonFlyBSD all the same programs including Emacs in the same way as on GNU/Linux. -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns In support of Richard M.
