<para>I want to get a piece of hardware for my FreeBSD
system. Which model/brand/type is best?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>This is discussed continually on the FreeBSD mailing
lists. Since hardware changes so quickly, however, we
expect this. We <emphasis>still</emphasis> strongly
recommend that you read through the
<ulink URL="&rel.current.hardware;">Hardware Notes</ulink>
and search the mailing list
<ulink URL="http://www.freebsd.org/search/#mailinglists">
archives</ulink> before asking about the latest and
greatest hardware. Chances are a discussion about the
type of hardware you're looking for took place just last
week.</para>
<para>If you're looking for a laptop, check the
FreeBSD-mobile mailing list archives. Otherwise, you
probably want the archives for FreeBSD-questions, or
possibly a specific mailing list for a particular hardware
type.</para>
