Hi, I would state this even stronger :-)
I had a friend give me a Dell Precision M70 which, under XP was beyond useless, and under OpenBSD 4.7 it just flies. Very very very nice. >From my POV, it is perfect and works perfectly. Do note, my definition of perfect and your definition of perfect might not be the same... Ie, I think that cwm is the best of all worlds for window managers, an opinion not necessarly shared by the rest of the world. When you get away from the OS that came with the system, you run the risk that not all the devices will work quite as well as they worked with the factory standard OS. That said, you get an OS that is far nicer. cheers bruce On Fri, Jun 18, 2010 at 06:26:33AM -0500, Chris Bennett wrote: > Jean-Francois wrote: > >Hello All, > > > >I am thinking about changing my OS to OpenBSD on my laptop, which > >is standard x86. > >It would be used as internet browser, mail client, multimedia, > >pciture & video , etc ... > > > >My question is simple, is OpenBSD convenient enough for a daily usage ? > >What are the experiences about that ? > > > >Just to be sure, as of today, is ntfs experimental or working, or > >not ? for read ? for r/w ? > > > >I will certainly do with gnome wm. > > > >I know such question might not be very convenient to answer, this > >is just to be sure I can peacefully back-up my data and reinstall > >freshly without worrying about anything but being using a great > >os. > > > >Thanks > > > > > The other comment about reading the FAQ is right. > > However, there are no comments on experiences in the FAQ. > > OpenBSD will take an older laptop that crawls under Windows and make > it pleasantly useful.
