They are simply less painful. Sorry guys, but this is my experience.

A number of FreeBSD users have reported good luck with the Protege 3480CT. I am not as sure about the IBM machine. FreeBSD will support much more of the hardware on this machine than Solaris will. In fact, there will not be an Intel port of Solaris 9 (they are re-focusing solely on SPARC). Unfortunately, the sound card and internal modem are cheap-proprietary devices that will only work with Windows. However,you can choose from any number of PCMCIA modems and network cards for your machine. #################################### 3.From: "M. Warner Losh" <imp@village.org> I know that the IBM x20 is a little better supported for the pccards that you can insert into it. There is an irda stack for freebsd, but no bluetooth one. There's great 802.11b support in FreeBSD. The portege has a few minor problems with using multiple cards at the same time. I have no experience with Solaris on intel, so I can't help you there. Warner ######################################## 4.From:"Bara Zani" <bara_zani@yahoo.com> I would take ibm over any laptop in the market go with FreeBSD and not solaris ( better drivers , more apps etc .. ) ===== Your Respectfully Gerus(priwat person) 20306 Hamburg 36 ,Germany Postlagernd Att:Mr.Sw.Gerus tel: 0049-(0)178 -5545949 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
