| Hi, I have gone trough this process last week. I'm new to freeBSD and wanted to install it in my notebook. For me it was painful. I couldn't tweak it to work as I wanted. - Wifi worked out of the box. - The people from #freebsd chan on irc were very helpful - The handbook is very useful The problems that I couldn't fix: - Somehow I can't go back to terminal if I start x environment, afaik this is a problem of Intel HD Graphic cards (onboard on my notebook). - No acpi support to adjust the brightness level, I have to rely on an app but it isn't the same. - Touchpad support.. In ubuntu it works out of the box, two-finger scrolling and all, in freebsd I have to struggle a little with xorg and the end result is a little worse than ubuntu. - I can't suspend my computer. It never wakes up :( I still have to configure a lot of things (keyboard shortcuts, install better fonts, network manager). It's not that I jumped from ubuntu to freeBSD, I've used archlinux for a few years before I got tired of it breaking my apps with the updates :P I regret installing it on my notebook before trying it on my desktop or on a virtual machine. |
