The PAO list is interesting--especially since my 3.2 CD's just arrived--but the PAO information seems dated.. I've seen a `UMAX' l'top that would be just small enough (12.1") to be worth buying at around $1000US. But I've seen nothing about this or other off-brand laptops. Is there any way of telling whether any generic laptops would work with FBSD? thanks, gary To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
