Hi folks,

Has anyone got any success stories about running FreeBSD 3.2 -stable or
-current on a Sony VAIO Z505SX?  This is the 366MHz PII with built in
ethernet.

I've done some searching, and have seen pages like

    http://www.cse.ucsc.edu/~dkulp/fbsd/laptop.html
    http://psg.com/~randy/vaio/
    http://www.webweaving.org/vaio/

but they either don't mention the make/model, or deal with the TX, which
(apparently) works fine with FreeBSD.

I'd expect the SX to work fine as well, but thought the built-in ethernet
might be a stumbling block.

This

    http://www.mnsinc.com/js/Neomagic.html

implies that Linux works OK, so I don't expect problems.  I'd just be more
comfortable with a confirmed report.
