Your Subject said you want to install FreeBSd on the laptop. It should work OK. But, you should know that FreeBSD is not LINUX or related to LINUX. It is a UNIX type Operating System derived from the BSD family of UNIX. LINUX is an OS somewhat related to the SVR4 family of UNIX. FreeBSD is a superior Open Source, Freely available UNIX OS. It is especially suitable for network server work, but it works well in almost all situations needing a high quality UNIX environment. Give it a try. After some early work on learning the system, you will likely find it very rewarding and useful. ////jerry > > Can I install it? > > > It has following configuration > > 1) Inspiron E1505, Intel Core Duoprocessor T2300 (2MB/1.66GHz/667MHz) > 2) 15.4 Inch Wide-screen WXGA Display for Inspiron 6400/E150 > 3) 1GB, DDR2, 533MHz 2 Dimm for Inspiron 6400/E1505 > 4) Intel Integrated Graphics Media Accelerator 950 GM > 5) 80GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive for Inspiron 6400/E1505 > 6) Integrated 10/100 Network Cardand Modem, for Inspiron > 7) Intel PRO/Wireless 3945 802.11a/g Mini Card (54Mbps), for for Inspiron > 6400/E1505 > > 8) Dell Wireless 350 Bluetooth Module (2.0+EDR) for Inspiron 6400/E1505 > 9) 8X DVD+/-RW Drive for Inspiron 6400/E1505 > > 10) Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005, English without Media, > for Inspiron > > Thanks and Regards, > > Sadashiv > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > >
