Stefano Marinelli<p>Fun Fact: At the end of 2008 / beginning of 2009, I bought a mini laptop — an Acer Aspire One, on sale because no one wanted them. Windows didn’t run on it for even a minute, but every other OS did. Including a version of "Hackintosh", which actually led me to get a MacBook Pro a few months later (which my parents are still using). It ran quite well.</p><p>But the OS that worked best and longest on that little guy was PC-BSD. I truly did everything with it. When I was flying around Europe during the most hectic years of my life, it was my trusty companion - always ready, always in my backpack. I have a special memory tied to it that will always make it dear to me, but it’s a private one 😃 </p><p>Oh, I almost forgot the Fun Fact: its hostname was always "acerone" - from Acer (Aspire) One, of course. But in Italian, "acerone" sounds like "big Acer", and considering its micro size (9 inches), it was truly ironic.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Memories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Memories</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/PC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PC</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FreeBSD</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/PCBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PCBSD</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Acer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Acer</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/NetBook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NetBook</span></a></p>
