Hi,

I know that you guys might have answered this question many times before. But I'm quite curious on this topic, and I'd like your comments on it.

For two months ago I bought this new IBM Thinkpad X31. It's a nice, lightweight laptop, but unfortunately it's running Windows XP. I'm getting tired of this operating system sucking up all my system resources. So I'm planning to install FreeBSD on it.

Unfortately, I'm not sure wether the Pentium M-chip and the Intel PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B wlan nic will run. And how is X11-support, disk-support (DMA), firewire, USB etc?

Greetings,
