Hi, I'm in the process of purchasing a new notebook. The one requirement I have is that the machine be able to run FreeBSD and that the onboard 10/100 NIC work. The machine that I am considering is a Dell Inspiron 2600 (1.06GHz Celeron, 384mb RAM, DVD-ROM, 20gb, etc). Is there any reason to be advised against buying this machine, in terms of compatability with FreeBSD? Is there a chance the DVD-ROM may fail to operate as a normal CD-ROM in FreeBSD's eyes? I have searched around and found little to no reference to the 2600 and FreeBSD (It appears to be a relatively recent model) other than one person who had problems which were solved by removing EISA from GENERIC. Many thanks in advance. Regards, Justin -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Justin Stanford 4D Digital Security (Pty) Ltd.
