I want aircard support of course (which lets out DELL and a few other manufactuer's.) So what's the best? Why? BTW: I suspect, but have zero affirming data, that SSH2 has been cracked. I had numerous security incidents on another laptop (not running Obsd,) so I don't know if the problem was

I've been searching for a long time, for a usable laptop to dedicate to OpenBSD usage and after trawling the archives, it looks like IBM Thinkpads are a good bet for OpenBSD. I'm looking for something with wired network connectivity and I don't care for wireless. CPU speed, RAM and drive space aren

Sorry people. I should have stated that I'm after something really cheap, hence why I don't expect much power or features out of it. So I'd like a used laptop of say 300MHz or better with 64MB or better and wired networking. I don't like eBay, as I've had too many bad experiences with them and as

So what's the best? Why? I have the thinkpad r50e. Cheap and featureful. Less than half the price of most laptops. The only unsupported hardware in it I have found so far is the power management. But that could change. Also were you aware of this page? http://www.openbsd.org/i386-laptop.html R

The Thinkpads do have a good reputation for xBSD, and I picked up a good condition T30 which runs both NetBSD and OpenBSD without major drama, from a UK corporate left-over outfit called ITClear - www.itclear.co.uk. They were very helpful when the battery didn't charge as it should - sent a seco
