I'm looking for a linux laptop, medium spec. I want to pay roughly around £800. I'm intrigued by www.dnuk.com, since they offer laptops with linux preinstalled, but their prices seem a little higher than I can afford.
Has anyone got any tips? Should I go for a second hand laptop instead and struggle with the install myself? (yes, I DO know about www.linux-laptop.net)
...and that's all Ricardo Campos wrote I'm afraid
I'm happily running Debian on a Dell Latitude C600 that I got from their 'Outlet' which sells returned machines (various returns reasons no doubt, they don't give you details on specific machines) that have been checked out and fixed where necessary.

The only issue I have is that it uses a MiniPCI Ethernet/Modem from 3Com/USR and the modem is not supported by Linux (not an issue for me). One particular thing I like is that the 10/100 ethernet is built in to the case and not at the end of a flimsy and easily lost PCMCIA adapter cable.
