Hi fellow Linux users.
I am still im desperate need for a laptop. After only being in the linux world for a short while my Samsung laptop died.
I am now without a laptop and have to grab the odd minute on my wifes Windows machine.
Does anyone have an old laptop laying around doing nothing, that I could dust off and make use of?
An old P1 or P2 would be fine. I would only be running Xubuntu or DSL-N.
I live in Watton but can travel.

There's a chap in Norwich market who refurbishes them - he had an excellent one last week (?) - been scuffed a bit, so was cheap, but new bits and pieces, battery, &c. If I'd had the money, I would have snapped it up.
Bound to have been sold by now, but he's worth a try - may have all sorts of old new stuff... He had a pile of ex-school (or ex-firm) Asus Eees a couple of weeks ago.
He's at the top of the second row, opposite the stall which specialises in leatherwork and secondhand books.
