I've been searching for a long time, for a usable laptop to dedicate to OpenBSD usage and after trawling the archives, it looks like IBM Thinkpads are a good bet for OpenBSD. I'm looking for something with wired network connectivity and I don't care for wireless. CPU speed, RAM and drive space aren't hugely important, but I would like to be able to run a basic X, if at all possible. It would primarily be to use whilst sat in bed at night, so being reasonably quiet is more important to most other considerations.
My main question really, is does anybody know of a decent place to buy a used laptop for OpenBSD use, in the UK? Or does anybody on the list have one for sale? A reasonable little laptop would complete my list of hardware "must haves" for me, but I just can't find anything very suitable. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, Regards, Craig On Sun, 2006-01-15 at 14:08 -0600, Julesg wrote: > I want aircard support of course (which lets out DELL and a few other > manufactuer's.) > > So what's the best?
