I would like to install a FreeBSD on my laptop (Dell Inspiron, or some Asus not defined yet) and then virtualize a lot (KVM seems OK) in order to get used. For the install on a laptop: If my Wifi chipset is ever unsupported is it probably the same status if I try to switch to a FreeBSD derivative? Or more precisely: What FreeBSD derivative would you recommend if wanting to have a usable laptop that can virtualize several flavors of FreeBSD derivatives? Thank you all. -- RMA.
