Great. Thanks. I have heard many nice things about the performance with the Centrino CPU and can't wait to try it out. Bought myself a Toshiba Satellite 1950 a couple of days ago, but it kept hanging and segfaulting in the installation process in both FreeBSD (need 5.1 to use cardbus pcmcia wificard, 4.8 installed without problems). Now I'm returning the hulking monster of a machine (heavy!) and exchanging it with this Acer 803. > Note that the Centrino built-in wireless ethernet is not recognized, though. So I thought. But that doesn't matter since I've already bought myself a D-LINK DWL-650+ cardbus WiFi-card. > But everything else is perfect. Sounds great. Thanks for the input.
