I love unix and freebsd and I would like to install it on my laptop but I would like to know if it is waste of time install freebsd on a laptop. I know how stable and flexible is freebsd on servers but I dont know if i am wasting m time trying to set up X on a system that is not prepared for that. Is practical to instgall freebsd on a laptop? or it is better to choose XP or linux ? Where ca n i get howtos for freebsd on laptop? --- Fabio Andres Miranda Ingenieria de sistemas informaticos Universidad Latina - Costa Rica
