@satch ultimately it's your call on which OS to install and will depend on what you want to do with the laptop. As it was a $90 thinkpad it should be pretty well supported and I'm assuming you wont be trying to play AAA Steam titles or stream 4K DRM content. OpenBSD is small, light and as with all BSDs developed as one coherent environment. I'd say give it a try, you'll learn new skills and discover new things. I would definately recommend installing obsdfreqd as one of your first tasks to keep things cool and extend battery life. If it doesn't work out you've lost nothing and can still blat a Linux distro on it.

I'm going to use it on a Thinkcentre tiny, the ultra small form factor ones. I think it is the cheapest you can get without wasting too much space at home. I guess some of your capusles run on open bsd?
@betatube. My only OBSD system at the mo is my x270 but I am hoping to get into some selfhosting in the near future and have been toying with the idea of signing up for an OpenBSD VPS with openbsd.amsterdam.
An opener... — So, I guess the first thing to ask is who if any of you lovely people are using OpenBSD? What are you using it for? Personally I've been daily driving it on an x270 since OBSD 7.2 and am loving it. I have a more modern laptop with Linux on it but I honestly find myself more drawn to the x270. It's secure, lightweight and I'm learning new skills :)
