My story is somewhat similar to yours, and I also regret not giving FreeBSD a try sooner.
I guess hardware has a lot to do with many people's reluctance in using FreeBSD, and in that regard I was lucky that my netbook was compatible right out of the box so I didn't experience any of the issues others had.
- MisterMerkin 13y agoMay I ask which netbook you have?
- D9u 13y agoI have an Acer Aspire One, ZG5. Intel Atom N270 1.6Ghz 1 GB RAM 160 GB hdd I bought it about 5 years ago for a whopping $99, but it has an issue with shutting down about 30 to 50 seconds after POST. I figure that I got my $99 worth out of it, and have acquired a new HP Envy 15, which is, unfortunately, equipped with a Broadcom 4313 wireless adaptor, thus I haven't yet taken the time to attempt getting the WiFi card to work in FreeBSD, but I intend to do so soon. (time permitting)
