Dell has a real nice deal now (14.1 inch display, 64MB RAM, 4.2GB drive, CD-ROM) for ~$2,000. Has anyone used one of these with FreeBSD before? I know firsthand the Dell's are nice machines, as my father has one. But I don't know if anyone's used the Inspiron's with FreeBSD. -- Kyle Mestery | StorageTek's Storage Networking Group mestery@visi.com | http://www.freebsd.org/ mestery@netwinder.org | http://www.netwinder.org/ Protect your right to privacy: www.freecrypto.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
