What I want to do is install freebsd using whole harddisk and install vmware and run windoze xp for multimedia stuff. The problem is Xfree86 just support 24 bit color quality, and vmware under freebsd is still bogus, the apm feature doesnt work. Okey, to be honest i like freebsd but I am affraid freebsd is not an ideal os for a laptop. What u guys think? I dont like linux, but I am forced to switch, what u think? --- Fabio Andres Miranda Ingenieria de sistemas informaticos Universidad Latina - Costa Rica
