Hi NetBSD people I'm looking to buy a new laptop and simultaneously learning to run NetBSD on it. I've some experience with Linux, so I'm not a total n00b, but I haven't really done much "in-depth" with any BSD. I would like to know what laptop vendors/models people recommend for installing NBSD on, and what gaps (if any) exist in hardware support. To get things started I should mention that I was looking at buying one of either IBM/Lenovo, Fujitsu, or the British makes Mesh or Acorn - but I'm not opposed to other suggestions. The system should have, at minimum: 15.4" WXGA widescreen LCD 60GB HD AMD64 CPU At minimum I would like a system where suspend "works" in some fashion and where I can get online with wireless networking. I have a PC Card wireless modem which is known to work in Linux and I suspect it will work in NBSD, so if a given laptop's inbuilt wifi doesn't work it's not a disaster as long as the pc card slot is supported. Also, are there any specific issues regarding running NBSD on laptops?
