Low-cost, FreeBSD-compatible notebook

Hello everyone. I am looking into buying a cheap notebook computer (sub $800, the cheaper the better). I have been playing around with FreeBSD for the last few months and have decided to make it my sole OS, so I really want a notebook that's as FreeBSD-compatible as possible. I know ThinkP

Re: Low-cost, FreeBSD-compatible notebook

Thanks for the links, much appreciated. However, they seem a little outdated (I don't see any notebooks currently available via the manufacturer). You wouldn't happen to have anything more recent, would you? Thanks again. J Kim Philip Hallstrom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am loo

Hi All, I recently installed Firefox 1.5 on a FreeBSD 6.1 system. Mostly it seems to work fine with some apparent finickyness about odd character sets. Since it does not include Email, I also installed Thunderbird which works as its own standalone. But, when I am looking at a web page that ha

RE: FreeBSD as a VPN Server/Router

If OpenVPN seems like a bit much to tackle you could establish the link with an easy protocol like PPTP (PPTP can be added to pppd with the port /usr/ports/net/poptop) and then IPSec traffic traversing the link. Some even argue that this is a good idea because it's two layers of encryption (not to
