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.

If you'd like to travel to Wymondham, I have an IBM Thinkpad 600 which I no longer use. It has Mandriva installed on it and a wireless card in it. It's far from quick but if it gets you out of a hole, you're welcome to borrow, or even keep if we can come to a suitable arrangement.

I was going to put in on ebay soon anyway.
