That would be the  June, 2026 meeting, where I mentioned I'd installed
freeBSD 15.1 with the lumina desktop. ;^)  I admit it had been
years^H^H^H^H^H decades since I looked at freeBSD, but the current release
looks like a good candidate for a small memory machine. You even mentioned
you'd looked at netBSD and openBSD more recently than freeBSD.
Must be something in the water :^D
