Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org My many thanks to all of you who sent me information on what laptops would be FreeBSD friendly. I have read the suggestions, searched the web for more details, and performed extensive price comparisons. Now that I have selected the new laptop I will buy, I find myself wondering which version of FreeBSD should I install. Which would be wiser to install on a fresh system, 3.1 (3.0?) stable, or the PAO 2.2.8? I notice that there is no PAO install disk for 3.x, and I certainly want to install the right version since I have a clean slate to start from. Thanks again for all the emails everyone sent. It is very gratifying to have recieved such kindly assistance in my moment of crisis. ////// ///// Eric I.
