Anyhow, don't take the Laptop statement from me to serious. I am aware that FreeBSD is mainly a Server OS. But nevertheless, we have agp support, we have PCMCIA support (lacking CARDBUS in 4.x). And in my opinion, that's what we need. If I do administrate unix servers, I'd like to have a unix on my laptop. And actually, I like my FreeBSD :) I just would like to have full functionality of PCMCIA cards, like cardbus cards. Nevertheless, it's not the main point. The main question was: How to give FreeBSD more PR? best regards, Marian
