That "ugly white notebook" was one of the most usable laptops in its day, *nix or windows, and it still isn't that ancient - computing innovation really has slowed down significantly. Compare to notebooks from '96 and point out the novelty of running a 64-bit OS on a 64-bit machine.
- gh02t 11y agoI've got OpenBSD running on an old Dell Atom netbook that I use alongside my desktop for keeping notes/task lists/music control etc. It's quite usable apart from most browsers run like crap, which is impressive for a 6 year old laptop on a processor that was considered underpowered even when it came out.
- grubles 11y agoHP Mini (Intel Atom) with Gentoo here! With no X it sits pretty at 12MB RAM usage. Now to figure out what daemons to run on it...
- gh02t 11y agoI'm using i3 just like on my (much much more powerful) desktop, but I hardly use any gui apps apart from urxvt on it. It'd probably make an acceptable webserver if I wanted, but I already have a dedicated server machine. Even with X it's only rolling 82MB memory usage.
