Adopt a Chinese Blog is a project I’d definitely look into later when I have the time.

BSD, take #i-don’t-even-remember
Decided to figure out what was the difference between FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD.
- forums.devshed.com/t73907/s.html, a forum post collecting some useful and comprehensive links about BSD. Link #2, Explaining BSD, was especially helpful since it was written as a historical account of BSD.
- www.inner-smile.com/bsd.phtml, a small collection of (mainly broken) links about BSD.
- The NetBSD, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD FAQ, parts 1-10
- www.greasydaemon.com, a guide to BSD Unix, with installation and other useful tutorials.
In the end, I’ll choose to try FreeBSD first, then OpenBSD. I might actually try installing FreeBSD on my T43p, though that seems to be a very unwise decision.
Side thought: I wonder if FreeBSD supports USB2.0 speeds. This tutorial describes how to connect a USB mass storage device to a FreeBSD computer, but doesn’t tell us if it’s capable of 480mbits/sec (it doesn’t seem to be able to, given the “da0: 1.000MB/s transfers” debug output upon insertion).
