Many people run FreeBSD on laptops. This is the best link to get started: http://gerda.univie.ac.at/freebsd-laptops/ I run 5.2.1-RELEASE on an IBM T30. The only outstanding issues for me are: acpi (I just use apm) and the integrated Cisco Aironet Wireless (it worked with FreeBSD 4.9/10, but broke with 5.2.1 -- I went back to using my Orinoco PCMCIA wireless card, which works like a champ.) Good luck! Rick Montgomery wrote: > I have a few PIII IBM and Toshiba laptops and was wondering about > putting FreeBSD on them.
