    Has anyone played with FreeBSD, or any of the wrappers like PC BSD or Desktop BSD, on an MS-1039?
    I'm betting getting the camera to work will be nigh impossible, and I'm dubious about getting the MSI BT/WLAN card to work as well. I have a little hope that the integrated ethernet NIC will work, but I'm not holding my breath.
    Mine should be coming tomorrow, so I'll give it a shot and post the results (hopefully from the machine itself :D )

    I was defeated in my previous attempts to put BSD on my laptop by the evil that is the Unichrome drivers. Bah! Humbug!
