Sure. My favorite machine is my laptop running FreeBSD. With PAO, FreeBSD supports nearly every feature my laptop has to offer. Suspend/resume, pcmcia ethernet/56k modem, integrated mouse (fingerpad), battery stats, etc... > I've been looking for a stable editor that reads/writes Word docs but i > haven't found one i'm happy with. IMHO, the phrases "Word docs" and "stable editor" are mutually exclusive. Full compatibility with word requires lots of bloat. Of the ones I've tried, I'd have to recommend StarOffice. Better have lots of ram in that laptop! > So far, i feel like i'm only using FBSD like an iMac, to surf the web. You're not alone! - K.C.
