FreeBSD 12.1 on The Thinkpad T60 (2)
Finally last Friday got a little time around to play a bit more with the FreeBSD install I did on the trusty T60.
Installed (via pkg) XFCE -as usual- as my Desktop Environment- things went really smooth and fast, matter of fact, took less time to install XFCE than xorg, everything thru pkg, go figure way... Maybe the XFCE packages were stored on a nearby cache of my ISP?

Disk usage right after the base install:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
zroot/ROOT/default 287G 433M 286G 0% /
And after installing:
pkg install xorg xfce firefox emacs-nox
HDD usage climbed to:

The systems feels snappy, specially compared with the same setup running OpenBSD, and, it doesn't have those pesky problems I was having (WiFi drops & XFCE crashes),
Will see if next week I have time to configure things the hell up on this FreeBSD/ XFCE setup and see if this is a daily driver.
