It's quite a task to keep up with all the new models coming out every day. If you'd like to contribute, consider joining the FreeBSD documentation project. For a list of comments, hacks, etc.... check out http://www.cse.ucsc.edu/~dkulp/fbsd/laptop.html. I'm not sure what you need in a laptop, but I can personally recommend a Toshiba Satellite 330CDS, as all of its components were supported under 4.2. It has a 266MHz processor. I'm not sure if you're in the market for something that old. Look around there's plenty of good deals. You might even be able to find the rare auction on Ebay of someone with a laptop, FreeBSD pre-installed. That's where I sold mine. -Otter > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Gan Starling > Sent: Sunday, March 04, 2001 5:38 PM > To: questions@FreeBSD.org > Subject: Can you recommend... > > > Can you recommend a short list, by MAKE & MODEL of off-the-shelf > low-to-mid priced LAPTOP computers from any internet or > bricks-and-mortar source?
