Hi, which laptop do you use that is i686?

Also, what is a BPI-M5? And why OpenBSD over FreeBSD?

[โ€“] black_dinamo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I use a Samsung N150P, bought it quite cheap, most of my use in it is for studying and college, hence it's a small and inexpensive machine.

BPI-M5 is a single board computer like Raspberry Pi, I've choosen OpenBSD due to its focus in security, documentation and also i want to try it in a desktop bare metal test machine(which is the one im currently using Void). I looked into FreeBSD too and it seems quite cool, ZFS, jails, good documentation and community too. Btw, I tried NomadBSD in a usb stick but it failed to build and kinda trashed the stick, I can't write over it now lol( still don't know if its repairable), will try with another stick soon.
