My aspire has a crappy (slow) SSD, so I've used the 'noatime' option to minimise SSD writes. This should prolong the life of the drive, and it also has a nice speed improvement. In truth, OpenBSD has saved this laptop. It was unusable under WinXP because the SSD was so slow, but under OBSD4.5 it's typically quite fast .

The laptop came with an atheros AR5424 wlan card, but a mate donated an Intel 3945 card so I could use the wifi. I've got it working with my local wlans, but my university uses 802.1x authentication and thus far I haven't had any luck with wpa_supplicant. As far as I can tell, the wpi driver isn't supported by wpa_supplicant, although the man page for the 4.5 package was last updated in 2007 so I'm not too confident in the package itself...


I'm running xfce4.4.3, firefox, thunderbird, openoffice etc. I've also upgraded the ram from 512MB to 1.5GB, but I've never seen the usage rise above 400MB.

One thing that was concerning me was the lack of security via single user mode. By default, single user mode doesn't ask for a password - it will drop the user at a root prompt, no questions asked. Obviously this isn't a very desirable situation for a laptop, and in my mind it's probably more insecure than windows xp - so I manually commented out the 'secure' attributes listed in /etc/ttys. Has anyone else bothered to do this, or am I just being paranoid?
