If you support OpenBSD in spirit and love what they do, consider making a donation to help the developers out. Most devs work for free and every little bit helps :) https://www.openbsd.org/donations.html

Thanks to all the OpenBSD developers and supporters for making another amazing release!

A quality product from a quality team. Thanks, OpenBSD project. It is reliable, secure, well-tested, and BSD licensed.

Thanks to everyone for sharing their opinions, feedback, and help! I truly appreciate it and was not expecting my blog post to explode like it did. I am grateful for your kindness and hope you have a great time hacking away :)

Yeah, to be clear, OpenBSD seemed to have the best support for this particular laptop. If it had been another laptop, I'm not sure I would have done OpenBSD. I would have done the same testing with Linux, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD and chose

I need to run Windows workstation and server VMs, too. (In the screenshot, I show Windows). Additionally, the Linux VM cons with vmd are off-putting, but I'll be getting them working. I even saw a blog post about running docker contain

To be clear, it is more than Linux virtual machines but also Windows. The VMs are for penetration testing labs and R&D. It isn't my job, it is my hobby. I can do my job with ssh terminals and a browser.

That may be true, my bar may be low. I started with early BSD and Linux in 1996, and have been happy with minimal, cheap, and command line ever since. My experience or expectations others may not share. I didn't truly consider that whe

Oh cool! I didn't know you could flash a coreboot bios and I would love to have an upgraded display! Though mostly I run apps full screen so it isn't terribly important, it would just be nice.

There's more to it. It isn't a "Use OpenBSD, everything else sucks", it was simply "I used OpenBSD on a Thinkpad T420 and let me tell you about it". I also posted about that I tried Linux (Ubuntu), FreeBSD, and

You're correct. My complaint was about installation time. I thought there was an instance where I saw all the access points somehow during the installer, but unsure how I did that... and I couldn't replicate it. I suspected that I

That's OK, I was posting about my experience without intentions to change hearts and minds of others. I'm just a geek playing around, ya know.

I understand what you're saying but I fear you may be misunderstanding my intentions and opinions. I feel you may be injecting your own issues with things into my blog post. Please allow me explain. The importance of having a secure an

I do like the keyboard on this T420, it is a pleasure.

Indeed, it was recommended by several people that I add that and noatime. That's active on my mount points.

I wish I knew more about the specifics of the hardware differences. Thinkpads are new to me. I just discovered the Thinkpad subreddit several days ago, so accidental sub-community of old Thinkpad folks, but haven't dove into the detail

You're right, my mistake in communication there. Speed is not a concern for me because it is fast for everything I use the laptop for. I didn't hit snags where things were slow. I'll update the post later for clarity. Thank y

Will check that one out. I only have a rough idea of what a red team is (abstract, some books, etc), but no practical experience with it.

Thanks for that recommendation and advice, I appreciate it. Yeah, I'd definitely prefer to find and propose fixes for exploits over full pentesting (reporting/client work).

I've browsed a few times the assembler courses on Pentester Academy. I'm not sure I'm up for being a pentester but I do like the particulars of assembler and CPUs. Would you recommend those courses in particular (looking as a

I think there's a bit of a difference in that NetBSD project itself (kernel and userland) run on all the platforms/architectures, and Linux (the kernel) supports a lot of platforms/architectures itself, you need to find userl

From a general generic user perspective, you're right that that would be useful. As a user, I also understand that frustration. Basically, it comes down to having very little money, if any, to fund these tasks and most of the work is d
