Post - Buy Old Laptop


Greetings!!
I am looking for an old laptop to learn Linux Ubuntu on. I am willing to pay $200 (give or take) US and will also pay for reasonable shipping to the sand box where i am. I have pay pal and Google check out. Here are a few of the requirements or requests.

-Pentium 2-3 or equal to
-cd-DVD ROM
-10 GB or more HDD [edit: 30 GB requested]
-10/100 Ethernet
-touch pad
-at least one USB port
-128 MB Ram

I think that about covers it. Thanks for checking this out.

I dont have any for sale right now, but I recommend you to get at least 20-30Gb for Ubuntu. Lots of other good programs for Linux out there that I'm sure you want to install as well..

Like to help, but $200 is pretty low for a laptop of any specs. Try ebay or Craiglist.

If you want new (and admittedly better than the specs you wanted), this is pretty solid deal at $350.

Well i bit the bullet last night and went with an Acer Aspire 5630. I thought i would buy a new one and give it to my wife when i got back in the states. That way i could just keep my comp and have my own own OWN computer. Here is the deal i got. let me know what you think.
