Hello,

I run FreeBSD and prefer it over Linux. But now I have to install one
of them on my new laptop. Some people tell me that Linux has better
support for laptops. Is that true? If so, then what is missing
w.r.t. laptop support on FreeBSD? It does seem that pcmcia is
supported. Do I need more specific support for laptops that FreeBSD
might not provice?
