It depends on what you want to do. I use mine to make test in my systems, to format LaTeX documents, handle my mail, C programming, corrrect my students assignments, preparing lessons,... you name it. I even installed "bochs" and I can emulate a win98 environment. Install xp if you like viruses and expensive software. Linux is fine finished but it takes a lot of resources. > Where can i get howtos for freebsd on laptop?
