Hey,
Saw this link and I thought people might be interested, it's pretty
cool. Basically it's a $400 13" laptop with Ubuntu preinstalled from
Dell.
http://www.logicbuy.com/deals/dell-vostro-v131/35882.aspx
It's a bit underpowered for development, but it could do most other
things reasonably
I haven't used it, but I think that Orchestra does something like this.
Not sure about the FreeBSD support, but I think it just works off of
disk images, so it wouldn't care.
