Hello, 
I am planning to buy a notebook, but since I always work on unix systems, I 
would like to run 386BSD on that notebook (and DOS whenever necessary).
Is this a good idea ? Has anybody experience with it ? I know that they put
some power saving features in such notebooks. Do I loose all those features
when I boot 386BSD ?
The notebook I am thinking of is
	486DX / 33Mhz
	4 M
	120 M disk
	VGA screen
	2 serial and 1 // port
 	possibility of an expansion box with 2 AT slots

I am also looking for the FAQ on 386BSD (I thought it exist, but I can't find
it). Can anybody tell me where to find it?

Thanks,

Stephan Biesbroeck
