In search of the best OS for a 9-year-old laptop: Part IIâ€' OpenBSD or Debian?

  2008-07-31 22:00:03
I've been using OpenBSD 4.2 for a few months now on the $15 Laptop (Compaq Armada 7770dmt), and I'm leaving it on the hard drive for now. It does run better with 144 MB of RAM. I may even upgrade the OS to the current version 4.3. OpenBSD with X is nowhere near as fast as the fastest Linux systems, but the added security and overall quality keeps me using it. However, I'm considering swapping out the hard drive (to retain my OpenBSD installation) and trying Debian again.
