I just got a Dell Laptop, mostly because a colleague said that it worked great with a RedHat install. (Maybe Debian). Foolish me, I buy one and start to install FreeBSD. I didn't order the builtin winmodem, and asked for a pcmcia modem. Seems to be working fine so far. The worst part was ordering a 6GB drive and not having fips recognize it. So I had to fdisk and fsck the damn thing, and about the third try, I got it to dual boot. The install went wonderfully. Haven't managed to get X configured yet, but I'm blaming the problems on (1) Microsoft, (2) new video h/w, and (3) X. I expected all three. Z.
