Are you referring to the Openlook GUI? The OpenBSD OS requires very little in resources. I used to run it on a SparcStation 10 with no problems. Come to think of it, I really liked those Sparc pizza box machines.

I used to install Slackware and play with that....and I run Linux Mint on the PC my wife uses.

I could never configure X when I tried to install Free BSD....and I was pretty good at doing stuff like modifying the kernal to install things like Nvidia drivers.

Reading it in off those giant cassettes was not the fastest thing in town.

ROFL

When I worked in research we had a computer that still used 8" floppy discs. Whenever the "computer guy" loaded software he would hold the disc like a pizza box and announce, "Watch out! Coming through with the disc!"

Good times.
