Hi all,

I've been happily running FreeBSD on a P2-266 Toshiba for several years now.
I'm thinking of upgrading by getting something on ebay.

I love the look and lightness of Sony Vaios, but I'd like to make sure which
models are best for FreeBSD.  If none, I'd consider a Dell.  Or, am I better
off with Toshiba, which has been known to be 'other OS friendly'?
