Hello list,
I've been using freebsd 4.x on a laptop for 6 months or so now, and I'm not entirely happy with it. Mostly, it lacks multimedia support and power management. I don't want to start some flame war here, but here goes.
Could some of you please send me an email telling me what OS you utilize on your laptop, and why? I'm not looking for anyone bashing any other OS, just why you use what you do.
TIA
Hi Eric,
First of all, when someone flamewars over this, it's very shamefull... The one who does that should know better, and even OS bashing is the same form, know better.
I run FreeBSD 5.2.1 on my laptop and that works rather ok. My soundcard words, and the Powermanagement i don't use so cannot tell anything about that. Why do i use it? I like to run bleeding edge stuff, and on my laptop i cannot do any harm at all. Also i am interested in it :-).
I run on my laptop some applications to do some administration (OpenOffice) and i use it to connect to my servers in the home lan.
I've also used the laptop in a SANS track where we needed laptops, from every OS in the room i thought (and still think) that my FreeBSD laptop was most secure and reliable.
Also i like to use it as a mobile cd player and dvd player, and that works alright with xmms and Xine.
Hope this gives some information to you :-)
Cheers!
