Some years ago got an acer One with N270, broken 8GB ide ssd (those 1st gen rubbish) which "run" linux on 512mb.
Substituted it with a 1.8" 30gb hd (and filled up its 2 SD slots), expanded to 1.5gb ram, reworked chassis to host an external sna connector for big antenna. This machine, which still today can run modern linux, runs openbsd marvellously, has a wonderful screen and keyboard. Also, with a new 9 cells battery lasts incredbly like a porno actor. Till it runs i won't detach from it :) Il 01/apr/2017 06:47 AM, "Ax0n" <a...@h-i-r.net> ha scritto: > Until I really wanted to mess with vmm(4) late last year (thus requiring me > to move to a more portly i5 laptop), my daily driver was a Toshiba NB305, > on which I've run OpenBSD since 2011.
