About 6 weeks ago I moved my home firewall from its former home, a 1995-vintage Toshiba T2130CS laptop: 486DX4 processor @ 75MHz, 640x480 VGA display, 32MB memory (the most it could hold -- when I got it it only had 8MB), a new-in-2001 10G disk (when I got it it had a 512MB disk with some flavor of MS windoze on it), and a new-in-2001 NE2000-clone network card. I first installed OpenBSD 2.8 on it (or was it 2.9?) in 2001. XFree86 ran fine, but I never got X.org to run on it when we switched in 3.4 (?). It kept chugging away just fine, running pf to keep my ISDN connection safe. I finally turned it off about 6 weeks ago when I got a 6M bit/sec DSL connection. I have a 1992-vintage Sun Sparcstation ELC (Sun 4/25 @ 33 MHz, 40MB memory) sitting in a crate. Someday I'd like to put OpenBSD on it just for old-times sake (it ran SunOS from when I bought it used in 1993 up to when I shut it off in 2001)... ciao, -- -- "Jonathan Thornburg -- remove -animal to reply" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Max-Planck-Institut fuer Gravitationsphysik (Albert-Einstein-Institut), Golm, Germany, "Old Europe" http://www.aei.mpg.de/~jthorn/home.html "Washing one's hands of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless means to side with the powerful, not to be neutral." -- quote by Freire / poster by Oxfam
