Hi,

I am about to jump from ubuntu to OpenBSD but before I start creating
partitions (slices, sorry) in my hard disk, I wanted to ask a couple
of things. I have tried to google them but found nothing or at least
nothing relevant for me... I intend to install OpenBSD on a FJS
lifebook p7010 and the most important issues for me are

1- wireless connection (Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG)
2- suspend to RAM
3- usb external disks

These two things are working flawlessly well on ubuntu. I would like
to ask you whether you know what is the current status

Apart from this, things that I use everyday are

-zsh
-ssh (yes, I know)
-vpnc
-vim
-firefox, nvu, xine etc

etc etc but I assume these things are working just fine, right?

Since this mailing list is called "newbies" I think it's the right
place to post this.

This is just a wrming-up email... when I start the hard-core thing be
ready to have patience with my emails, please... :)

Cheers,

Pau

PS: I bought the Absolute OpenBSD book but I didn't get it yet!
