Hello Mike, MH> I don't currently have a laptop, but I need to get one soon. I'll MH> probably be running XP/FreeBSD dual boot. I haven't found much into MH> on the web, sorry about bothering the list. Had a few questions: I use a Fujitsu B-2562 Sub-notebook, my criteria was super light weight. The notebook dual boots WinXP home (bundled) and FreeBSD 4.7-Stable. As I didn't opt for the CDROM Drive and Floppy, I had to install FreeBSD via NetBoot off my FreeBSD Desktop PC. MH> - What are some good laptops for FreeBSD? By this I mean MH> - installs MH> - suspend and resume work (or whatever power functions, I don't know MH> if suspend to disk is supported) MH> - 3d Video is supported (maybe) meaning non-nvidia, right? I've pretty much gotten everything to work except :- 1. Touch screen 2. Lucent AMR Winmodem MH> - The ultra-lightweights have some appeal to me, I don't know that MH> I'm looking to replace my desktop, so the really small laptops MH> seem nice, unless they're not usable for extended periods because MH> of a small screen or keyboard. For long sessions, i use an external keyboard + monitor. MH> Also, how much memory should I get for XP? I know that it's a pig - I MH> will be using powerpoint, but mostly just Office. At least 256MB RAM, unfortunately the FJ B-Series only takes up to 256MB RAM. You might want to take a look at the S-6010. -- Best regards, Michael mailto:mikechoo@opensos.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
