I am about to get a notebook and I have been very impressed by
what I have seen of HP's offering, the omnibook. I especially
like the light weight, the pop-out mouse, and the instant-on feature.
Has anyone tried to get FBSD running on one of these machines? Are
there any compatibility problems, with the mouse or the instant on
feature? How does FBSD handle being suspended and then resumed
at a later time?
I plan to run in dual boot mode, Win95 and FBSD.
Or, does anyone have any other recomendations for a lightweight
subnotebook to run FBSD on?
Thanks,
-David Paigen
