Sure Zenwalk was doing all right on the $0 Laptop (Gateway Solo 1450, 1.3 GHz Celeron, 256 MB RAM). But I had Partition Magic, and it was time to divide the / partition in half to dual-boot. My first test was PC-BSD 1.3 (I've had the CD for a few months.) It's the first BSD I've ever been able to boot. ... Big surprise: Unlike Zenwalk, PC-BSD has some kind of laptop power management implemented. The fan finally fell silent, only turning on occasionally.
