Re: Linux on old laptop

Not Linux, but I use OpenBSD under an old Atom N270 netbook
with:

- cwm
- tmux
- mpv+yt-dlp
- sfeed
- nsxiv cli tools
- mednafen/nethack/slashem/nfrotz
- catgirl
- bitlbee and
- lynx/links.

For cursed JS sites I use luakit.
Specs:

\- -/ os OpenBSD 7.1
\_/ \ host 0493200000001C00000300000
| O O | uptime 9h 47m
|_ < ) 3 ) pkgs 441
/ \ / memory 615M / 1015M
/-_____-\

Most resources are being used by Links -g rendering a huge page
but fast as hell.
With the previous OSes (XP or 7 starter), the netbook would be a doorstopper.

Pretty awesome setup. Never heard or seen OpenBSD on an Atom!
