Hi,

I saw a posting from sombody a while ago regarding some DEC laptops
for use as FreeBSD machines.  How did they go ?  Which particular
model are you using ?  We are considering purchasing some for students
here and there is a requirement that they run FreeBSD.

I'm still running 1.1 Release on my home system and it's been as 
reliable as a paperweight.  I usually abuse the file system by 
just turning the power off when I am finished and all seems OK.
Linux and a million patches and kernel releases ?  No thanks.

Simon "Just waiting for 2.1" Lai
