I use the floppy-based OpenBSD install. I have 4.6 installed and X working, and I just use a full screen VNC session from another box. The VNC server is running at 800x600 (it wouldn't do 800x48), but I leave Firefox sized just right for my screen - I can surf just about any site. If I don't want to use VNC, I just run links -g for lightweight surfing. I hope to eventually find a 32MB memory module to upgrade to 64MB, but for now I'm not really missing it. I really like OpenBSD for older laptops. I especially like that they still have a floppy-based network install. I have a 110Ct with 32MB. I use the floppy-based OpenBSD install.
