Subject: RE: Question about FreeBSD on a laptop


Well, I run FreeBSD 4.0 -stable on a Thinkpad 600E. The setup is
128meg ram,
PCMCIA NIC, PCMCIA Modem (It has an internal modem, but, alas its
a winmodem).
Seems to work fine for me. I do compiling/devel work on it and
use Code-Forge
for my devel enviroment. I don't have sound on it although it has
a built in
sound card.(It may work, I havent tried and I really dont care if
it makes
noises or not :) I also connect it to a USB printer and scanner
at times. The
APM works fine for me. Hot-swap is a no-go though.. It has an
internal 20X
cdrom and an external floppy that can be traded with the cdrom in
the bay.
I have had no problems with it, works so well, I bought a second
one also.

I currently use it on 3 different lans, along with dialup.
