Is there any one model or product that would be better for Freebsd 6 (as this is my day in day out operating system).Any experiences and or advise would be much appreciated.
I'd suggest you do NOT buy a Sony VAIO. The basic stuff works - like the screen, harddisk and keyboard - even mouse/touchpad. But then comes the trouble.
- I still have unresolved problems with USB - I still have unresolved problems with ACPI - Intel Wireless works but linkstate goes up and down - Battery does not hold what it says: I have never got more than 1:30 out of it - and they claim more than 3 hours - (I assume with power off)But the screen is really great. So, my conclusion is that it is ok as an advanced DVD player/mail reader.
