I stumbled upon this challenge just in time, and decided to blow the dust out of my trusty Acer Aspire one from 2008. This beast features an Intel Atom clocking at 1.67Ghz, 230Gib HDD and a whooping 1024Mib of RAM ! I slapped OpenBSD 7.3 on it just to find that my wireless card is still not supported (probably never will…). I had to scrap one from an (even older!) Asus EEE PC to get it going. It’s now up and running, ready to choke at the 512Mib limit while trying to browse the web !
I’m using st for the terminal. Programs running are sacc (gopher client), vis (text editor) and irssi (IRC client).
It runs my own window manager: glazier with wmutils.
Will happily answer any questions !
Lol, it might just be that I’ve been looking at retro computers and terminals for inspiration, so I’m probably just seeing the resemblance. Regardless, it looks lovely!
