> 1. General 'brand recommendations' for Portable to run freebsd. Myself, I have a Fujitsu. Fast and reliable. Works well with the APM code. CD ROM acts a bit funny, as a number of cdplayer utils do not work. Have to look into that one. X is a bit difficult to get to work. But I finally found a configuration that works. For me it is a good price/performance. Needs dual boot though to get all the features to work. > 2. Also, specifically, whats the best option for getting network connection > on a freebsd notebook. DHCP. isc-dhcp works quite nicely. Wide DHCP trips on strange netmasks (255.255.255.0 on 139.191.71.0 does not work. I've not the foggiest why. but it gives me a 'no more addresses error' You plug in your PCMCIA card and it starts to detect it. You need to install 2.2.6 and the PAO additions to make it work off the shelf though.
