Hi,
For some time I've been wanting to try FreeBSD, but I am always scared away byhw hardware support. I come from the Linux world and even there I didn't buy a PC/laptop without some problem, which I have to battle for days/weeks or give up and live with it.
Now I consider to buy one of these:
I chose these two for simple reasons: they are cheap, available and they meet myhw hardware requirements.
I tried to find some goodhw hardware support page, where I could search exactly these two models, but I didn't find anything. Is there something like that? Or does someone own one of these laptops? I don't expect wonders, but I need the Ethernet card to work, the Wi-Fi card to work and good (watch movies, proper resolution) support of the graphics chipset (e145 -> Radeon, e440 -> Intel HD) and it would be great if the suspend and fn keys worked.
So, my question is: are those laptops well supported by FreeBSD (I want to install the latest - 11) and does someone has working experience with one of them?
Thank you very much,
FreeBSD Newbie
