My day-to-day system is Linux Mint Debian Edition 3 on a Thinkpad. I'd
gladly ditch Linux for good on my laptop for FreeBSD or indeed any
*BSD if battery charge thresholds and re-calibration for the Thinkpad
were available [1]. I know that FreeBSD has something similar but I
wouldn't know how to make it work and there are no official docs.
