After saving an old laptop at work from landing on the garbage pile, I took it home and, on a whim, decided to install OpenBSD on it.
I expected problems of some kind or another and was mentally prepared to install Debian instead, but I was pleasantly surprised that all of the hardware worked out of the box. Since it is old an fragile, and the battery lasts about five minutes, I don't do much with it but keep it around for good luck.
Guess I'll be upgrading this weekend. As luck will have it, I am also binge-watching Doctor Who currently, which fits in nicely with the cover art. ;-)
