Waaaaay back when, I had a plan to turn my months long tweaking FreeBSD (6?) on my laptop into becoming a reseller of laptops with BSD pre-installed (this was back when Dell did not ship anything with linux on, and laptops still had some kind of margin). Like most of my ideas it withered on the vine of bills and rent but every time I look at an Apple Mac there is still a twinge that says "Lenovo makes 100,000 laptops with exactly same components for huge corporate A and B, so there is room to tack on 1,000 more to keep the hardware base stable and release a run of perfectly stable machines, that just work. Or ... frankly my dell refurbished laptop runs three flavours of linux quite fine thank you. maybe I just cannot go back to BSD ... which is a shame.
