It is x86 ( i386 ). I seem to recall that some documentation states that if
it works on linux it is resonable to expect it to work in FreeBSD...

As I'm a student, I can choose whichever OS i prefer ;) I now have Win XP,
GNU/Linux and FreeBSD installed. Before FreeBSD I had OpenSolaris.

Hope someone can clarify the suspend situation.

On a side note, what rpm can you set your fan to? In windows and GNU/Linux I
can get it up to 4500+, but not in FreeBSD. Have you succeded with this?
