I would like to get a small laptop dedicated to (desktop) FreeBSD 6.x, ideally one that could run Win2000 inside QEMU and has an nVidia chip so I can do OpenGL stuff. Any suggestions? It doesnt have to be superfast, though I would prolly want to drop a 100GB 2.5" drive in it later. 2 years ago I foolishly bought a HP Pavillion, and I have to use an externa= l keyboard with it for FreebSD (or else it wont boot). The HP laptop is now = a dedicated Windows machine (and I'd return it if I could). Is anyone using a laptop that they are happy with? Maybe a refurbished Thinkpad? (though I prefer to buy lapotops new, in case they are duds). I dont particularly trust the online lists of "laptops that work with FreeBSD", since my other laptop is on one of them. I plan to carry the laptop around a lot, so I'm looking for something a little smaller than average. My HP Pavillion is about 7lbs, which is too big. Maybe a small Thinkpad, if they still make them?
