What is critical for me is:

Wifi: Intel 5100 AGN
Graphics: Nvidia Geforce 9600M GT Resolution: 1440x900
Sound: Intel High definition Audio, Codec: IDT 92HD71B7X

Since I have 2x250Gb, I would like to use ZFS, I heard FreeBSD can boot from
ZFS now, is it stable ?

Thanks in advance for your feedback.
