I don't currently have a laptop, but I need to get one soon. I'll
probably be running XP/FreeBSD dual boot. I haven't found much into
on the web, sorry about bothering the list. Had a few questions:
- What are some good laptops for FreeBSD? By this I mean
- installs
- suspend and resume work (or whatever power functions, I don't know
if suspend to disk is supported)
- 3d Video is supported (maybe) meaning non-nvidia, right?
- The ultra-lightweights have some appeal to me, I don't know that
I'm looking to replace my desktop, so the really small laptops
seem nice, unless they're not usable for extended periods because
of a small screen or keyboard.
Any stores that have good stock? I haven't really been able to look
at laptops. Any good deals out there?
Also, how much memory should I get for XP? I know that it's a pig - I
will be using powerpoint, but mostly just Office.
Thanks!
- Mike H.
