May I introduce you to a Satellite user who likes his laptop? I haven't used FreeBSD on it (though my desktop and a couple of servers I admin are all 6.2-STABLE), but Ubuntu Linux is basically trouble free on my Satellite U205. I bought it in December and installed Ubuntu Edgy immediately (all hardware detected without trouble). The only issues are the fingerprint reader (never bothered to try) and suspend-to-ram suspend-to-disk works fine). Very sharp screen, light weight, nice keyboard feel, solidly built. I suppose this is a little off-topic since I haven't tried FreeBSD on it, but it's a relevant data point.
