I'll be running 6-Stable on this, with X, Gnome, et al. Has anyone had any experience (positive or negative) with either of these machines? Which wired Ethernet works better with FreeBSD? Is the wireless reliable/unreliable, does it work at all? Audio? Graphics under X? What about IR/FireWire, cardreader? And most importantly, what about power management? -- Christian Lopez de Castilla Wagner lopisaur@gmail.com PGP ID: 483EA9B6 (+591-705)98290
