I've got a toshiba libretto 50ct. Excellent! Just submit your URL via the webform once you have your page ready. I just posted the following to freebsd-mobile. Since I found the www.linux-laptop.net site of "links" to various folks laptops-running-linux setup pages very useful when configuring my new laptop, I suspect that such a page would be useful for FreeBSD too. Since I couldn't find one, I've set up a first-effort at: http://freebsd-laptop.grot.org There's a webform on that page to submit new entries. Currently, I'll update the page with the submissions, say once a day, and once I feel confident it is working, it will happen on the fly. To avoid stale links, I'll also automatically check the URLs, say once a week, and try to contact the submitter if it is unreachable for more than 2 cycles and "expire" it if it is unreachable for more than 3. (Hence the request for the email address on the submission form) Thanks to those 2 folks who sent me URLs to their pages. It would be great if the rest of you used the online submission form. I'd welcome any suggestions (including requests for consolidations with existing sites I haven't seen).
