Hi,
I want to run Net BSD on a PC, however the FAQ is a little
bare as regards hardware requirements. (The nightmare of an unusable
PC looms...) I'm not clear enough on PC hardware relationships (ie
does PCI support VESA modes etc etc) to make a solid decision.
Is there some more documentation (net opinion?) on supported
hardware? ie were I to buy a Gateway machine with a PCI bus would I
be OK? Are there any Gateway owners with *BSD experience?
Does anyone think more detail on supported hardware is a good
idea?
Thanks for your thoughts.

Cheers,
Ian
