AFAICT, both linux (suse and debian) and freebsd seem to be a little hit-and-miss. What works fine on one laptop may not work on the next. I sense the smell of BIOS bugs... maybe freebsd is better than suse, but maybe BIOS bugs are the dominant factor. Frustrating. Anyway, if you can get a chance to try an install and like laptops that have low weight, long battery lifetime, lots of connectivity options and no clutter, I highly recommend the small Fujitsu-Siemens Lifebooks. If it works, it works very well, except for swapping between CD/DVD and battery in the second bay. Doesn't bother me, I never use either floppies, CDs nor DVDs.
