Hi,
I'm thinking about buying an older model laptop to put FreeBSD 5.x on.
I had an IBM Thinkpad T21 and FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE ran fine, but the
XFree86 drivers were less than stable, and so was the ACPI support,
sound support was also very dodgy. Now I have the urge to put FreeBSD
on a laptop again. I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a P2/P3
laptop from a company like IBM, or even Dell, that has almost no
problems running FreeBSD. I don't really care too much about good
sound, but I do care about stable X drivers and all the rest.
