Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated though I am currently leaning towards either the Sony FXA47/FXA49, or the COmpaq AMD Athlon 4 model. Any experiences with Sony and/or Compaq AMD powered laptops? I'm looking at replacing my IBM StinkPad with either a Compaq or a Sony 1.2Ghz Athlon 4 machine. I'd be really appreciative if anyone has had any experiences with either of these machines with FreeBSD (or service issues, etc) that they'd be willing to share. -- Nathan Vidican Nathan@Vidican.com http://Nathan.Vidican.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
