I'm typing this message on my Sat Pro 2100 running FreeBSD 4.8 and it works like a charm. The only thing that probably doesn't work is the built-in softmodem but I haven't really tried it so this is just a guess. The built-in network card is a Intel Pro 100 and works fine with the fxp driver as does the build-in wireless card (a Lucent Embedded WaveLAN) which uses the wi driver. The only issue I currently have is that suspending under X crashes the box which is the fault of the nvidia driver (which you should install to use dual-head and other nice things - /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver). But this is only a minor problem for me as I just switch to a console with Ctrl-Alt-Fx and then suspending works without any problem. In short: This thing is really nice and works pretty well under FreeBSD 4.8. The keyboard isn't as good as Toshiba's used to be but still ok to work with. Hope the above helps!
