Sorry this is a bit lazy, but it's not so easy looking through lots of threads and I can't get onto laptop.bsdgroup.de
I want to buy a small lightweight netbook type computer along the lines of Acer Aspire or Asus eee - that sort of thing. I'll be buying it off eBbay so it will probably be a few years old with relatively basic hardware. I only want to be able to do a bit of web browsing, email, etc. on it: the types of thing that people do on mobile phones or tablets but I hate using these as I don't like touch screens much, my eyesight isn't good enough for browsing a phone, and I just don't like the whole Android environment.
My preference would be to run FreeBSD on it, so my question is simply: can anyone recommend a suitable netbook? I would need the graphics and Wi-Fi to work and probably don't care about much else, e.g. suspend/resume etc. Obviously some sort of power management also desirable.
Thanks!
