Found my first #ThinkPad laptop in my belongings at my mom's house.

It's an iSeries 1171-L1G. Built in 2000. It was all plastic, i was young and careless, many things are broken.

I don't even know if it will boot, last time I used it was in 2013 iirc ^^

That good old lilo prompt <3 It takes forever to boot - it's a Pentium III 650MHz with 64megs of RAM - it was 192 before but the RAM module was very faulty.

It should be #Debian Wheezy I guess.

Managed to grab neofetch ! It's evilwm ^^

That old Wheezy can't deal with modern TLS ciphers. I won't upgrade to stretch - it won't be able to handle it well with that amount of RAM.

Root password was... root 🙄

Maybe I'll go with OpenBSD and many services disabled 🤔

OpenBSD crashes just after scanning the disks ^^

I removed the hard drive and now it boots successfully :|

So I managed to install OpenBSD by tricking the bootloader. I removed the hard drive, started with the install cd and as soon as the boot prompt appeared, plugged the hard drive in 💫

Once installed, that trick isn't necessary again. Time to struggle with the SMI Lynx 720 graphic card, it will require a full xorg.conf I guess :)
