On a side note, I have found out that FreeBSD is able to bring down the
processor speed of a Pentium M processor on a laptop of a friend a LOT
lower than what Linux is able to do (200MHz as opposed to 800MHz in Linux).
I am wondering if the information is correct. I thought of installing
Debian GNU/kFreeBSD but I failed miserably and I don't know when and if
I'll try again.
