Just checking to see if anyone has tried OpenBSD on either of these laptop models
Toshiba Satellite A305-S6909 Lenovo 3000 G530 and if so, how much success they had. The Toshiba shows this on the graphics: Integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD The Lenovo shows this: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X4500 No mention of Nvidia, so that's a plus. I'd rather have the Toshiba since it has a bigger hard drive and more ram for the same price, but I know from reading on the list that Lenovo is generally more compatible with OpenBSD than most laptops. I also know that you're usually better off going with an older model since there's been time to test it, write drivers, code, etc., for it, than with a relatively new model. I have an ancient Toshiba but it's really not up to the task anymore except maybe to use as a secure email station, etc. I searched through the mailing lists archives but found no mention of either model listed above, so any comments, advice, and so forth much appreciated.
