I'm looking for a cheap (sub $200) laptop that is capable of running Linux. My little sister really wants her own computer, and I'd love to get her one. The only thing she needs is Internet, and she's set. So, any laptop that is under $200 that has a functional Wifi card is perfect. I've tried looking into eBay and such, but I do not trust online auctions, and would prefer to buy from a trusted retailer.

If you want to get it cheap, ebay is the way to go :)

You will have to pay more to get the equivalent from a retailer.

Just check the reputation of the seller before you buy - I've never had an issue (I suffer from the ebay curse - always buying stuff!!)

If not online, maybe you could look in classifieds? Or maybe go to an actual auction? Not too sure on other options. Some computer repair places have old stuff lying around that they will sell for cheap..
