Hi, I'm thinking about buying an older model laptop to put FreeBSD 5.x on. I had an IBM Thinkpad T21 and FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE ran fine, but the XFree86 drivers were less than stable, and so was the ACPI support, sound support was also very dodgy. Now I have the urge to put FreeBSD on a laptop again. I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a P2/P3 laptop from a company like IBM, or even Dell, that has almost no problems running FreeBSD. I don't really care too much about good sound, but I do care about stable X drivers and all the rest. MTIA -3BSD
