I've encountered a few of them from time to time, and the experience usually varies. Heck I've seen machines that fail to run their shipped copy of MS Windows properly (I mean even to the limited extent that Windows is supposed to run anyway). In fact, I have one such box right here at home. It has a Windows XP sticker on the front, but WinXP from either the recovery discs or a non-OEM-infested disc fails epically, and most Linux distros can't even run X.Org on it (at least not automagically, I never bothered trying to see if I can manually fix it in xorg.conf). Right now it runs OpenBSD 4.4 headless, its only current purpose is a permanent IRC session (ssh+screen+irssi: wonderful!), though I've tried it out, and OpenBSD's Xenocara runs perfectly without any manual xorg.conf configuration, and all the other hardware works perfectly; beats all the Linux distros. :)

It will be much faster and consume less power. I'd second that.. Whilst I get the occasional desire for Old Computer Kit and some old computers have a few neat features, generally there really isn't much to compete with a decent Core2Duo/Quad box - it's not that expensive, is low power, fast and supports virtualisation. I can say that considering I also run OpenBSD on a sparcstation 10 and an SGI O2..(*) I do have a 266MHz Pentium thin client running an embedded OpenBSD firewall; I wouldn't necessarily recommend that in your case as yours won't be fanless or consume minimal power. I also have a 486 DX2-66 as a bittorrent box - that actually runs NT 4. Much though I like OpenBSD at times, it's far more effective to add the large disk driver and run utorrent. If you must use your box it'll perform adequately for network based operations - mail, web servers, pf, etc etc. It's a bit underpowered for modern X although you should at least be able to run multiple X terms. Compilation times on older kit tend to be painful. (*) The O2 has some nice video hardware - which is useless in anything other than Irix. The sparcstation has a decent boot monitor, and a cheap multiport 10Mb network card available - which is useless now ADSL goes faster than 10Mb. The O2 uses SCA disks which are still available, if a lot more expensive than SATA. The sparcstation uses narrow SCSI disks which are now defunct, loud and slow. There are workarounds for all of this, but running modern kit really is a lot easier. PK

Let's see... we use OpenBSD for subversion repositories, web servers, dhcp servers, smtp servers, firewall, Gmail backup, development workstations, etc. The sky is the limit. If you have no idea what to do with this operating system, then you have no reason to install it.

My experience on older boxes (older than yours) suggests that your box would be good for just about anything. So rather than saying what to use it for, here's my guess at its limitations: heavy-duty web browsing (lots of graphics, lots of tabs) needs lots of memory. Perhaps add up to the system max (whatever it is on that box). It probably won't be good at editing video. I find editing photos tedius on my 486DX4-100 with 32 MB ram. You may be OK there. Put in a couple of big hard drives (I don't know what's there already) and use it as network storage (backup your other computers). If you plain don't need the computer and only installed OpenBSD to see if the box works, then give the box to someone who needs it. Doug.

If so, the easy way out is probably to use ukc to disable the clcs0 device (see faq5.html). You will lose the ability to play audio on this thing. (see FAQ 5 for more on using ukc) I've got an IBM laptop which does this once in a very long while, I..uh..never thought to let the thing keep counting, I guess I figured it was probably a really big thing like a 32 bit integer. Now I guess I look forward to the next time it does it on mine! Up to this point, because it always happens only when I don't have time to deal with it, I just shut it off back on, and the next time, it usually works just fine. You could also try poking pcibios with various flags (using ukc again), see if that helps you. This would allow you to actually use the sound IF IT WORKS. As I recall, these Aptiva machines were quirky as heck, on a LOT of OSs. From memory, the power management was a bit overly aggressive, might want to make sure it is COMPLETELY disabled in the BIOS if you find your machine turning itself off (or some other form of equally unproductive power savings) in the middle of work. :) (On the other hand...you may not see that problem, I don't recall if I ever ran OpenBSD on an Aptiva of your vintage...) hm. speaking of BIOS, might want to dig around in there to see if there were any options which might have it run better for you. Check power management, PNP OS Installed? and things like that. Don't ask what the right value is, change what you can it might help. or not. Nick.

When I taught courses for IBM (Websphere, OS/2, linux, etc) we had lots
of those in classrooms. They usually obtained a prefix CR if you know
what I mean.

I could never figure out how the one company could produce Thinkpads
and cr^H^H Aptivas in the one division. Love my TP.
