Because they're among the best laptops available, open source developers tend to focus on supporting them faster than a lot of other laptops. It's the best of both worlds. Also . . . Lenovo is selling some Thinkpad models with SuSE Linux installed. Those are likely to be better supported by FreeBSD than other models, I would imagine. Aside from that, I think the FreeBSD Laptop Compatibility List brought up by others should be useful: http://laptop.bsdgroup.de/freebsd/ -- CCD CopyWrite Chad Perrin [ http://ccd.apotheon.org ] They always say that when life gives you lemons you should make lemonade. I always wonder -- isn't the lemonade going to suck if life doesn't give you any sugar? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
