Trying out FreeBSD 15.0 BETA 1 on ThinkPad T500

I for one am definitely looking forward to FreeBSD 15 RELEASE! 14.3 brought strong improvements, and things can only get better. Going to be putting it on my X1 Carbon Gen 3 soon, but for now I figured I’d try it on a spare machine. Nice to see it got going with hardly any effort on this 15+ year old machine! Just had to do a bit of manual X.Org config tweaking…

For a Core 2 Duo with 4 GB RAM in 2025, it runs surprisingly well. I’m posting from this machine right now 🙂
