I run OpenBSD on an ancient T42 Thinkpad. IBM. I was very happy with the quick, easy install and extremely low memory usage — 53mb's with Xorg on idle. Sadly can't be main station because too weak for modern computer tasks. For text-based it's perfect.
Will try FuguIta, Live OpenBSD on USB to see his it runs on modern hardware, but now about to install GhostBSD on it. I botched a NomadBSD install after upgrading it to FreeBSD —CURRENT to try to solve issues like touchpad dead, audio out. I'm a noob and it's a (too) modern machine.
So I have mentally made the switch to *BSD — and as soon as I get one of my desktops up and running I will run OmniOSce, OpenIndiana and/or some other illumos based distro. It's worth it just to see the bootloader print: Starting UNIX…
edbrowse(1) is developed by seeing-impaired person (Karl Dahlke) - it's a webbrowser with ed(1)-like interface which also does JS. I've heard it's awesome for scripting! Though it requires som ed(1)ucation.
