--=-CXtb04c/MPSfdalnw1f7 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I just setup FreeBSD on my Fujitsu E6550, I've pretty much gotten everything to work besides USB printing. I can play DVD, wireless works (the disconnect/reconnect problem doesn't really bother me), power management with APM works way better than Windows. My ATI video card works well with the "ati" XFree server. I bought mine from Fuji's online outlet, paid less than $1k for it about a year and a half ago. If I were to buy a notebook now I'd probably get an iBook though. =3D) --Andrew On Tue, 2002-11-05 at 08:47, Mike Harding wrote: > I don't currently have a laptop, but I need to get one soon.
