So you're in for another one... I am planning to buy a laptop, to run FreeBSD on it (with dual boot for, horrors, W95). Currently, I have reduced my choice to two brands, namely one Gateway S5-P120 or Sager Narval-86P (I just hope the names are the same all over ther world - those are the names of products sold in France). Has any of you some idea/advice/warning about the usability of either machine for FreeBSD ?
