@nortonham 🙂 yes it is not a common brand I guess. I agree with you in every aspect, one piece of hardware less on our ever growing piles of electronic scrap caused by software 🙂
fun fact: I have another notebook lying around for a while (it is older then the yakumo). Booting it up the day before to check if I can get it up and running with NetBSD. But it seems that my former me was faster. It actually runs FreeBSD 8.3 😃 (netcomp is the brand)
specs: 5GB hdd, 56MB ram and 500MHz
