Me too. I think FreeBSD 5 was my first foray into BSD laptops. It has been less challenging going forward but IMO the best way to stress test releases at least up to 9.x. For me, as noted in this thread, make sure your laptop chipsets are supported. One thing I have never been able to do is configure the system so I can negotiate the Hotel 'your gota log with the browser' setup. If there are any tutorials on this, I have not found them.
