I am running FreeBSD 3.4 on a IBM Thinkpad 600E. 128meg RAM, 10gig HD. Everything except internal modem and sound works fine. I use a 3com pcmcia modem and pcmcia LAN card in it. I am very happy with it. X is great at 1024x768 too :) On 19-Jan-00 Nick Slager wrote: > Thus spake John (goodleaf@pop.seanet.com): > >> I'd like to solicit advice on laptops.
