FreeBSD on Sony or Dell? Or stick with Toshiba?

[hans]

hi

try samsung X05 1400 series..
works flawlessly with FBSDCurrent, you'll get the built in intel (centrino 
chip) wlan to work with ndis, pcmcia is fine. cardbus trouble solved, too.
the description about this machine on 
http://gerda.univie.ac.at/freebsd-laptops is outdated.
works fine now.
