Thank you Stuart for your notice about list of arch that will sute my needs. Main usage is just to meet openbsd, get used to it, possible that I will set it up on my router-pc ;] for routing, fw, fileshare, dlna server and torrent client. Also virtualization for learning/exam preparation purposes...
Thanks again John, cheap used laps sounds great too... will think about it too. Thank you very much!
