I purchased this, believing that I could make things work with FreeBSD -- but not so. I was replacing an old Tecra and everything worked fine, with both Linux and BSD -- not so the 1150. I made a serious mistake -- I should have come here first and asked "What works best with FreeBSD" and now I pay for that mistake, because when I boot up I have to look at a windoz desktop. So Greg, DON'T YOU MAKE THAT ERROR -- find something else to buy! --jg -----Original Message----- From: Greg 'groggy' Lehey To: "julesg @ newebmail. com" Cc: freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.org Date: Wed, 5 Jan 2005 21:51:05 +1030 Subject: Re: Fwd: Experience with Dell Inspiron 1150 laptop? > [resequenced; time 1 minute 37 seconds] > > On Wednesday, 5 January 2005 at 5:56:45 -0500, julesg@newebmail.com > wrote: > > On Wed, 5 Jan 2005 16:52:43 +1030, Greg 'groggy' Lehey wrote: > > > >> I'm thinking of buying a Dell Inspiron 1150 laptop.
