I was wondering if anyone has had any success running FreeBSD on any HP
laptops?
My current model is a zx5078cl, with the following hardware:
P4 3.06 ghz
512 ddr
Broadcom 54g MaxPerformance 802.11g Wireless adapter
Trealtek RTL8193/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC
DVD+R/RW/CDRW drive

Anyone know how well HP laptops are supported? I also was hoping that if it
indeed was, if my wireless adapter would work as well. I'm interested in
trying to set up a dual boot system with WinXP and FreeBSD.
Thank you.
