Hi.
Gabor Kovesdan ????????:
Hello,
I'm about to buy a netbook, which:
- is compatible with FreeBSD (wifi is especially important)
- has a good battery life (at least 4 hours)
- has a normal HDD not an SSD
I don't know about that you are going to buy, but I have Dell Inspiron
mini 12. One of the big problem with FreeBSD is the video Driver.
Most of netbooks have Intel Atom Z series CPU. Atom Z series have
integrated chipset and video chip.
The integrated video chip Intel GMA 500 is not a original Intel product.
So X11 does not work with Intel driver and the driver is still
unavailable. VESA is the only available driver.
If you want use X11, do not forget to choose Atom N series.
