Afternoon,
=20
I would like to switch from Redhat Linux to FreeBSD. Linux is giving my
grief. I have an old notebook I would like to install it on. Can you tell me
if anyone has tested it or it runs fine?

Notebooks are troublesome with anything but I am not sure if Free BSD has
all the drivers?

Thanks,
