ixsystems.com sells a FreeBSD laptop (probably not inexpensively). system76.com is ubunutu-based, so you might have to look closely at the wireless chip. That one e-online-dot-com internet web store named after a certain large, South-American river has a few of such for sale, as well. I'd buy one with Microsoft® Windows® Starter® Edition® and amuse myself by applying to the seller for a Microsoft® Windows® Starter® Edition® Refund® (& depending on where you live might provide _months_ of entertainment). Actually, new is too expensive for me: let someone else take the first price hit. -- -- _______________________________________________ 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"
