Aside from the obvious glitch of rebooting I actually have my
laptop triple booted with all the above, FreeBSD,Linux,2000 and
it's been actually kinda neat to do hardware comparisons with
wireless nic cards, standard nic cards and the likes.  

Having no serial ports on the new Toshiba has proven a challenge 
for I only have USB and had to "serial" into Cisco routers, it was
there that the Keyspan USB-2-Serial card worked on Linux and 2000 
but didn't get it working yet with FreeBSD.
