Honestly, I'd recommend looking for a used Thinkpad -- something from the T41/X41 era will be cheap (<$500), well-built, and extremely well-supported under just about any recent Linux distro.
I used an X41 as a mobile development box for quite a while, and only upgraded to a MacBook Pro when I started shooting a lot of RAW photos with my DSLR and wanted to run Lightroom.
- ra 18y agoThanks for this. I'm just selling my Macbook core2duo on ebay at the moment. I use a mac mini with a 23" screen at home, and I don't take the macbook out much because it's heavy and valuable, so mainly it just sits there doing nothing. I have been planning to get the new eeepc (when it comes out in a week or two) - I hadn't considered a second hand thinkpad. Thanks very much indeed for a great tip.
