Hi Markus, Thank you for the links and your laptop install story, I was glad to read that you where able to solve your boot/bios problems. I'm not sure if any one has tried installing FreeBSD on a Lenovo X1, but this was the laptop I was considering. It seems like most of hardware is intel. But I'm unsure of support for its hardware in the current BSD. Here is a link to the site, and if you know of any issues installing it please let me know. http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/webca/LenovoPortal/en_CA/catalog.workflow:category.details?current-catalog-id=12F0696583E04D86B9B79B0FEC01C087¤t-category-id=F8EAB670D7F93AC90F0B9F6C58B8E7A2&action=init Cheers, Shaun > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Markus Hoenicka <mailto:markus.hoenicka@mhoenicka.de> > 25 July, 2011 4:35 AM > > > Shaun Reiger <shaun.reiger1@gmail.com> was heard to say: > > > Hi Shaun, > > you may find some guidance here: > > http://laptop.bsdgroup.de/freebsd/ > > I also have, like probably many others on this list, a story to tell. > See these blog entries: > > http://www.mhoenicka.de/system-cgi/blog/index.php?itemid=2132 > > http://www.mhoenicka.de/system-cgi/blog/index.php?itemid=2133 > > regards, > Markus > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Shaun Reiger <mailto:shaun.reiger1@gmail.com> > 25 July, 2011 3:46 AM > > > Hi > > I'm looking at purchasing a new laptop and I'm wondering which > brand/model is recommended to run FreeBSD.
