It seems that FreeBSD fellas r more interested in talking to each other than helping newbies like myself. I have read in the handbook that FreeBSD 11 supports all i5 processors and Nvidia GPUs. That much I know. I am contacting you just to make sure that I am not dishing $$$=E2=82=AC=E2=82=AC=E2=82=AC for something that will not w= ork. I am a newbie not just to FreeBSD but to all things IT. In the forums, I asked if this machine * is compatible with FreeBSD 11. zero, nada, rien. What is the point of joining a forum that does not help you at all??? It is not newbie friendly at all. https://www.radiopopular.pt/catalogo/detalhesproduto.php?idprod=3D47431 Could you please let me know if these machines are compatible with FreeBSD 11???? I intend to learn about FreeBSD and install it as my only OS on one of these machines. PS > May I make a suggestion? why does not the FreeBSD project sell computers that are fully compatible with FreeBSD. The proceeds would go straight to the project to fund + r&d. Just an idea. I would certainly buy a computer from you guys. The confusion surrounding compatibilities etc is mind boggling. It does not have to be this way. It could be so much simpler, I think. Well, i am not an expert so maybe I am talking nonsense. thank you https://www.radiopopular.pt/catalogo/detalhesproduto.php?idprod=3D47431 Kind regards zeke
