I have been using OSS/FreeBSD with the evaluation license for the last few days but that seems to have some problems (most notably crashing the machine if you unload the LKM).

Incidentally, I got a URL for kernel pnp support as follows: http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/FreeBSD.html cheers, Carey Nairn
