Thanks for the suggestion Tim - and everyone else who replied. Sorry for not responding earlier. I can certainly pick up a T23 reasonably cheaply, but I was thinking more of something kind of netbook sized - ie. with a 9in screen. Something that's a bit easier to lug around. The s9e runs an Intel 945GSE chipset apparently. Any thoughts on that? Thanks for the help.

Install went ok but ACPI did give me some problems. I also tried PC-BSD but it wouldn't boot from install DVD. /Leslie -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
Lenovo s9e or well supported netbook
Is anyone running FreeBSD on a Lenovo s9e? I'm in the market for a netbook, and have seen these fairly cheap but can't find anything on Google about anyone trying FreeBSD on one. I'd rather not run Linux, so can anyone share experiences of the Lenovo, or suggest a better supported netbook?
