I love FreeBSD. Are you using it in a laptop? If so, which one? I've been looking for a friendly laptop to check out the latest FreeBSD. It's been a while.



I've been using it on X1 as a desktop driver since 9.0. Lovely setup: http://trafyx.com/?p=2551

OpenBSD would be even cleaner and leaner, but I needed wine, keras, theano and a few other things it didn't offer.


I've used it with much success on the ThinkPad X220 and more recently the ThinkPad W540 (the latter of which I dual-boot into Ubuntu).

I'm having a few issues with the docking station on the W540, which I'm currently putting down to the docking station being faulty, as I had no such issues docking the X220.

I plan to test a different docking station in the next few days and see if the glitches go away (USB mouse sometimes needs resetting, and X loses the external monitor until it's restarted).
