I have here running on an HP pavilion zv6000 with all enabled... gnome2.14 + flash7 + wireless + kernel 6.1 + java. + multimedia(all types and plugins: rmv, avi, asf....) + dvdRW..., openoffice 2.0.2 java 1.4, 1.5, eclipse, jdk, monodevelop.... the broadcom wireless built from the ndis windows driver... All running on FreeBSD Is amazing... in fact, we are starting do ship notebooks with FreeBSD in 1-2 months... the primary users will be high executives, decision chain persons, that will operate Kontact + evolution linked to a Open-Xchange servers... Their needed for secure machines, with an secure operating system, that is imune to virus , spywares, with a vpn (using ppp over ip) that in case of lost, robbery, can be used to track down the machine or simply wipe out the operating system and do not expose the information inside... a secret key on the loader, prevents the machine from being used in single user, so one machine can be safetly be used with more than one person in the company... Besides, each notebook (a turion amd64...) can be used as a FreeBSD diskless server, and when activated, almost every machine on an lan that connects with it, can be used with as a diskless client using PXE boot (available on almost every PC now... including the notebook...). I can send some screen shots if you are interested...
