indeed this device is very old ...and I am aware that it has many issues ;-) I did run OpenBSD on that thing for a very long time and I was always happy with it but that was starting maybe 5.x or something (I think there was a ghostbusters like CD Box). A while ago my small Netbook broke and I had to buy a new thinkpad .
