Your Subject said you want to install FreeBSd on the laptop.
It should work OK.

But, you should know that FreeBSD is not LINUX or related to LINUX.
It is a UNIX type Operating System derived from the BSD family of UNIX.
LINUX is an OS somewhat related to the SVR4 family of UNIX.

FreeBSD is a superior Open Source, Freely available UNIX OS.
It is especially suitable for network server work, but it works
well in almost all situations needing a high quality UNIX environment.

Give it a try.  After some early work on learning the system, you will
likely find it very rewarding and useful.
