I thought I would start a thread on BSD Unix, including history and the use of past to the present.
i pasted a thread on my attempt to install a few current versions on my AMDK6-2 400 with a MM2 video card with 4megs if vram. That system has 256megs of ram. Never being one to totally give up on anything I have been dipping my toes in the BSD pond. I installed Open BSD on a socket 7 mobo with ceramic P166mmx I'm testing and apart from not picking up the seral mouse everything went swimmingly. The video card on this is an ASUS pci card with with S3Trio 64V2/DX chip set and 1meg of vram along with 64megs of system ram I'll work on the mouse issue even if it is just plug in a pci usb v2 card and usb mouse.
I'd imagine a thread dedicated to BSD would be useful for the younger folk getting in to the hobby of vintage kit. And of course all you oldies who used it decades ago to get work done
Now over to you my vcfed friends......
Edit-Yip usb mouse picked up fine in Xorg.
