Hi all,
I brought a new ThinkPad T61 for work, the hardware is as follows:
T7300(2GHz), 2GB RAM, 120GB 5400rpm HD, 15.4in 1680x1050 LCD, 128MB
nVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M, CDRW/DVDRW, Intel 802.11agn(n-disabled),
Bluetooth, Modem, 1Gb Ethernet, UltraNav, Secure chip, Intel Turbo, 9c
Li-Ion,
I have a T61, T7100, 1GB RAM, integrated graphics, 3945ABG...
My current working involves scientific calculation and programming. I'm
from a linux background(redhat, debian, ubuntu), but after some googling
and comparison, I found FreeBSD more stable and I want to try FreeBSD.
I am tired of a dual-boot system, so I want to just install FreeBSD or
another linux distribution(maybe ubuntu) on my notebook.
My questions are:
1) Can FreeBSD work well with my hardware? The display card, CDRW/DVDRW,
wireless, Ethernet and battery managment are the most important.
There are some problems with the 3945 wifi driver (wpi) but it works
under 7-STABLE. If you have 4965AGN you need iwn driver which is only (i
think) in -CURRENT (8.0)
2) I have read the FreeBSD Handbook. According to Chapter 10: Linux
Binary Compatibility, it seems that FreeBSD lacks support of many
commercial softwares such as MATLAB, Oracle, Mathematica. Is the linux
binary compatibility stable enough for work ?
Thanks a lot.
I run Matlab (maybe R14SP3 or something similar) under FreeBSD 7-STABLE
on this laptop with linux_base-fc4.
I use i386 and not x64
