Thanks for the info William. Todd Stone Network Engineer Quality Assurance Active Voice Corporation 206-441-4700 Ext 1411 Fax: 206-505-0411 -----Original Message----- From: William Woods [mailto:wwoods@cybcon.com] Sent: Thursday, March 30, 2000 10:47 AM To: Todd Stone Cc: questions@FreeBSD.org 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.
