Anyone here running any BSD on a laptop? I always think of BSD running on some old ancient machine (but running well).

I don't really see a point in running BSD on a Laptop since the purpose of BSD is to be a server. It is like running Windows 2003 Server on a laptop.... pointless.

well laptops would make a good small server (have enough old ones) and you could set up a basic webdesign/hosting servise

I'm not sure if you can leave a laptop on for a long time though. Have you done this?

Over at CodeCall they had a discussion similar to this. Some guy left his on for 3 months without a problem.

Even with small physical ram, it can still work. Good luck on trying it out.
