I'm looking to purchase a laptop for my main system at the office and I'm
wondering what the people who have experience with FreeBSD on laptops
think I should get.
What I need:
166-200 Pentium (mmx does not matter to me.)
64Megs RAM
800x600 Active Mat. Display
2m video RAM
2-3 gig HD
Floppy & CD-ROM (both do not have to be in at the same time but it helps.)
I don't want a computer that has an external floppy.
PCMCIA Nic
PCMCIA Modem
I would really like to get a system that has a ZIP disk that will replace
the floppy, but I don't know if FreeBSD supports that type of ZIP drive.
Track ball (yah, I know, but I like them) or touch pad. No eraser.
What am I going to be doing with it? Development, systems admin, x, and
running Executor by Ardi so I can run a few Mac apps.
Worst of all I need to keep it under $4000.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for any help!
-Sean
