<div>I'm wondering if anyone has had success with a very
inexpensive ($250 or less) laptop capable of running Linux.
I'm willing to go with something that is very, very old, if
necessary. The device must have WiFi capabilities so that I
can connect to the Internet. I'm probably going to leave the
system without a GUI.</div>

On a similar note, I am looking for a distro that will run my older
laptops (64MB, 128MB, 256MB).<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
