It all depends on which Linux OS you are going with. Check out the
specs on the home page of the Linux OS you are going with. I recently
lucked in with a local computer vendor and received a used laptop with
no OS, which worked fine for me since I was looking, and did, install
Xandros 4.0. You could try some of your local computer shops for
similar deals.

Cheers,
Colin

Re: New laptop needed

I've read at various net places that Linux seems most compatible with "old"
laptops that have been out on the market long enough for the Linux
programmers to develop the software adequately. New laptops have new
hardware devices which typically need new drivers.
