I am trying to decide on a combination of notebook and one of *BSD to
replace my home Linux-i486 big tower.
I learnt that there is PAO for FreeBSD. How do OpenBSD or NetBSD
support APM/PC-Cards. What are differences in features/stability etc.

I do not have the notebook yet. If there is any comment on which
notebook to get (or to avoid due to problems) please let me know.

As always your help is greatly appreciated.
