@martinschlegel @Extelec Pretty much any version of #NetBSD should run on a #ThinkPad T23 out of the box, and #pkgsrc will include the ~latest #firefox. I tested it on a ThinkPad T41, which is only two years more recent than the T23 - youtu.be/jYS4TcgxMxU

Now, whether you can do anything *useful* in modern Firefox on a 1GB 32 bit machine... not so much

#PaleMoon or #ArcticFox are pretty capable browsers which run well on smaller machines - and #Dillo will *scream* on that spec hardware 😛

If you sigh with a smile, shake your head, or just shrug your shoulders whenever you see a person still using a clunky old #ThinkPad covered in stickers, try doing this with your fancy new laptop: My old work #ThinkPad has two SATA SSDs in a RAID-1 to guard against sudden SSD death and it has a third slightly slower mSATA SSD for regular restic backups of said RAID-1.

Sure, you might be able to buy yourself a B360 if you want. But that's roughly 9 times as expensive? 🤷
