Hi Chris, If you're at all interested in buying a laptop pre-loaded with FreeBSD, I've found 2 companies in the US that are willing to do it. http://www.storeanywhere.com/ http://www.nextcomputing.com/ I think both of them would be happy to customize the system to your liking (you mentioned you needed low-end; they could probably accomodate). I have myself considered purchasing a laptop from them later in the year. Note that NextCom's website doesn't explicitly mention FreeBSD, but I've spoken to their reps and they say they've done it before and would be happy to do it again.
