| | Five years ago I revived an old HP Stream 11 as a simple travel laptop with Debian Linux. That install is now pretty old, and the laptop's pitiful 2GB of RAM struggles more and more with websites; so it's time for a refresh. Instead of just installing another Linux distribution I thought I'd try something a little different. Since it's #OctOpenBsd, and I have to admit that I've been BSD-curious for a while, this is a good excuse to give OpenBSD a try.

| | The bhyve hypervisor has been ported to Illumos and provides an altervative to KVM. SmartOS created an OpenBSD image but it's quite old. I don't know (yet) how to upgrade or make more up-to-date images. But I could manage to run OpenBSD 7.4 on OmniOS.
