Alas, though I tried, I could not convince my girlfriend that installing FreeBSD on her T500 would be worth the sacrifice of *not* getting to run WoW, since (unlike Ubuntu, which is what she used instead) the proprietary ATI driver doesn't work so well with FreeBSD. Anyway . . . while I have not tried installing FreeBSD on an SL500 or a T400 either, I suspect support would be decent -- as long as you don't need 3D graphics support good enough for WoW. That's just my educated guess, and not confirmation, though. Hopefully someone else can give a more definitive response. --=20 Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] Quoth Antoine de Saint-Exupery: "A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away." --WIyZ46R2i8wDzkSu Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.10 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkqqEDIACgkQ9mn/Pj01uKXmIQCgjVn6RPxXm6GTIv4w+jFJ3hAN wbkAn3WS1TbXzMgaB3jWD+K75piXnP3m =Y11k -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --WIyZ46R2i8wDzkSu--
