Message-ID: <20010509133826.I82438@lpt.ens.fr> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i X-Operating-System: FreeBSD 3.4-STABLE i386 Sender: owner-freebsd-chat@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Can anyone suggest a good place, in France or in a neighbouring country, to buy a not too expensive (say, < 10000 FRF / 1500 Euro) laptop/notebook which works with FreeBSD -- or, at the very minimum, with Linux? And preferably without Windows pre-loaded at all, so that I don't pay a microsoft tax? I do see that an Apple iBook is available at around that price. Anyone have experience with running Net/OpenBSD or linux on it? (I'm not keen on Mac OS X, also I'm not sure whether it would be available yet anyway.) Thanks Rahul.
