Try PCBSD (http://pcbsd.org), is a Desktop BSD variant based on FreeBSD. Personally, I've used FreeBSD in a laptop in a few occasions but after trying out PCBSD, this path requires the least effort to setup a Desktop. The installation & setting up of hardware is too easy. The kernel that comes with it, does a good job in recognizing the wireless chip, sound card, NIC, display & other stuff. Even though it uses the PBI format to install software on PCBSD, one can still use port to install additional softwares on it by using the "portjail" console. Both PBI & port works together well.
In short, it definitely worth a try! :) _______________________________________________ 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"
