I've installed FreeBSD-PAO (www.jp.freebsd.org/PAO) on two IBM Thinkpads and the machines work just as well as any desktop counterparts. I am going to use one as a server this fall as I still dorm and it's hard to beat the silence of a laptop. I would have to someday wish PAO would merge into -current but I still love the work they've done. PCMCIA vendors seem to be as numerous and arbitrary as ISA vendors. I'm also happy to report that in the instances I've seen, PAO has better hardware support than Linux in reguard to Laptops. Not only better (as the support generally is, when it exists), but more comprehensive. Have fun, Tom To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
