Now that I know how to patch my OpenBSD-release installation and keep it updated as OpenBSD-stable, I pulled out the Toshiba Satellite 1100-S101 now running 4.7-stable, applied the latest patch, then rebuilt the kernel and rebooted. It was a step in the journey that culminated with an X session over SSH from the OpenBSD machine to a 1995-era Macintosh Powerbook 1400 with MacSSH and MI/X.

Now that I've managed to run X over SSH with MacSSH to connect and MI/X as the X server on a 1995-era Powerbook 1400 running Macintosh System 7.6.1 in 48 MB of RAM, I can retire from useless geekery forever. (That means anybody in the L.A. area can come by and pick up my mid-'90s Sun 32-bit hardware/software collection).

All of my '90s era gear died by late last year. Still, I respect the idea of keeping the old stuff going so long as it can be useful in some way. Waste not, want not... and no need to fill up the landfill.

I just got rid of a 2002 box yesterday (Goodwill takes 'em). I'm keeping very little.

Hmm, I've still got a celeron with 128 MB RAM and a voodoo graphics card, running fedora core 1. - it actually ran quake 3 arena fairly well. Haven't powered it up in awhile. I wonder if it will still boot up...
