I've never tried OpenBSD, but it seems to have better laptop/desktop support. Maybe I'll fire up an instance in a VM tonight and play around a bit. Is there anything significantly different right off the bat from someone coming from the FreeBSD world?

I haven't run FBSD in years so I can't comment but I highly recommend OBSD for laptops (obviously with supported hardware).

  I set up an OBSD laptop, an ancient Dell Inspiron 8000. Based on the experience, I'd like to get a lightweight, cheap, relatively modern laptop. Any recommendations? Cheapest thinkpad I can find?

    Thinkpad x200's are perfect in my experience and dirt cheap

    X201 - swap the HD for an SSD and enjoy. Unless you want to enjoy Bluetooth of course :)
