I think I have narrowed my search down to two: Sony R505: This one looks neat, but information seems to be greatly lacking. From what I have been able to read, the Intel 815 chipset stuff may make this one too incompatible to be useful. Dell Inspiron 2100: I am quite confident in this one. I had experience with an earlier Inspiron 5000 and it worked great! I guess my only question about this one is does the sound chip work with FreeBSD? The specs list it as "Crystal CS4281 interface to AC97". Any comments would be greatly appreciated! ;-) -- Denver Timothy dlt@mail.freeshell.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
