--=======AVGMAIL-43D2A5B05440======= Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I am planning to load FreeBSD as a dual boot on new IBM laptop. The model is an R51 which comes with: Radeon 7500 - video Intel Pro/1000 NT Mobile Intel Pro/Wireless 2200BG Integrated Audio Intel 82802 UltraATA Can anyone tell me whether the above hardware is all supported and stable in FreeBSD. Currently, my last install of FreeBSD was 4.11 about a year ago on an older IBM desktop and as a simple, low volume server. I am a bit confused now with 6 as I read on the website that 6-stable is not really stable..??..?? who though that one up?? Should I therefore download 6.0-Release and then just cvsup and rebuild?? Is this a better option than using 5.4 at this point? Thanks for your help. -- Kindness can be infectious - try it.
