So, for my last birthday, I bought myself a nice, fully functional, EeePC! It's an 1001PXD model from 2011c with a nice 233GB SATA hard drive, an Atom processor (32bit) and (wow!) 2GB of RAM. That was for 40€ mind, including shipping. Not bad at all. +> %float-right% +> ![My EeePC](/days/2026-05-02.jpeg) + I immediately installed [AntiX](https://antixlinux.com), which is an excellent Debian-based distro for older hardware. In retrospect, I could have installed something more adventurous like Arch or a BSD of some kind, but I wanted to keep things simple (at least for now), and went for something I knew I could setup and use with my eyes closed. I setup the usual stuff like git and similar everyday software. I decided to go for [Vim Classic](https://vim-classic.org), a slop-free fork of Vim 8.x by [Drew DeVault](https://drewdevault.com), and then... well, I kinda needed a browser. Now, go find a good, lightweight browser that can access 2026's crappy version of the WWW _for a 32bit processor_. Most browsers simply don't offer 32bit compatibility anymore, but luckily [Basilisk Browser](https://www.basilisk-browser.org) does! It's a really lightweight Firefox fork, and that's now my go-to browser for those web sites that require (ugh!) JavaScript.
