Re: What Linux^W distribution would you most like to see supported on a ThinkPad?
Lenovo is asking this at http://lenovoblogs.com/insidethebox/?p=3D98 and, yes!, FreeBSD is a proposed choice. ATM, the first choice is Anyone that refuses to carry binary-only drivers, so that all others will also benefit, as it will require documented hardware, which is also a very good choice. I of course like source too, but this rather destroys the force of that argument: On FreeBSD-6.2-RELEASE: man nve then go use find on /usr/src. it's a BLOB Linux MS compat PS there's source coming in from elsewhere now for man nfe in 7-current patches for stable 6.2 Summary: binary only doesnt seem to have precluded FreeBSD in case of nve, though again, yes we all prefer source avail. too :-) -- Julian Stacey.
