I have a KFC 9950 and an HP Omnibook 3000. Neither of them took too long to set up. Here is what I have learned so far: Maestro II PCI soundcards are not yet supported. (I think they are in 5.0-Current) So no sound so far for the KFC. The KFC also has an ATI Rage Pro LT 8MB video card in it. For some reason when trying to run XF86Setup it bombs out. I have to run the setup manually. That is a pain... I have yet to have a problem with PCCard support in FreeBSD 3.2+ and 4.0+, but then again I have a Zircom Realport, which is supported. If you are going to get a top-of-the-line laptop, be prepaired for some of the hardware, like the sound and modem to NOT be supported for awhile....if ever.
