This is 6.1 GENERIC kernel on i386.

Hi folks
I´m not sure if everybody has gotten my point I described in mail #9
to this discussion.
What I certainly will not do is anything with one of the X based
desktop environments. These are the problem and not the solution.
I performed some experimentation and I decided to focus on Haiku

Hi Jaap,
thanks for the info. Guess its time to have another go! What
video card are you using?
Under 7, it's an Intel Ivy Bridge, which works all right (if you use
AccelMethod SNA - see the 7.0_BETA on Ivy Bridge thread on tech-x11
about a month ago);
If you installed Debian stable Wheezy then you won't have systemd.
Testing Jessie systmd is installed by default.

I use NetBSD since many years on my servers and laptops. It works
especially well on the older Thinkpads. NetBSD compensates the slow
processor and little RAM I have in these Thinkpads.

The first case is for example Syllable and Haiku OS. Syllable is not
