A cheap laptop to run Linux on?

Question

Im looking for a good cheap laptop to run Linux on. I not really good at picking out computers put if someone can put a link to one that I think is good all give you best answer.

Answer 1

Linux is wild it can run on like a 200mhz processor and like 64mb of ram and for better systems it looks better than anything Windows or Apples could ever put out when Compiz is active.  If you know your just going to run linux I would just find the cheapest laptops you could and go for which one doesn't look like c**p.

Answer 2

Dude, I'm not sure what your specific requirements are but if you're going to run Linux on it, I assume you don't need something that's going to cost you thousands and be bleeding edge, right?
