Many thanks

I installed FreeBSD on my laptop - a DELL Precision M4600 with full RGB/IPS screen.
Everything works; installation was made easy by the handbook - very valuable.
My previous OS of choice was Ubuntu but I was having too many problems.
After 1 week of FreeBSD use I like it. Rock solid so far.
A big "Thank You!" for FreeBSD.

FWIW, if the wireless gets unreliable a few years hence, it may be a sign of the battery needing replacment. (Not sure, but maybe, better to replace the battery than fiddle with the wireless, at least on a laptop here.)
