X-Newsreader: Gnus v5.2.39/Emacs 19.34 Sender: plm@plm.xs4all.nl Lines: 16 Organization: My Unorganized Home Message-ID: <87pw1jarx5.fsf@plm.xs4all.nl> Date: Tue, 12 Nov 1996 22:07:34 GMT Hello, I just bought a Laptop and want to put Unix on it. I heard some people say that Linux has better support for Laptop specific things (what support exactly is needed? PCMCIA? Power saving mode?) Is this really true? I would really prefer FreeBSD but wonder what problems/deficiencies I might encounter.
