I have had good luck with used laptops. You have to assume that you're gonna buy a new battery, and maybe a hard drive. Run a bunch of tests on it, and use the keyboard and trackpad a bunch before you buy it in person, or get a trial period. They are cheap enough on ebay you could fix a lot. How about this one, $500, from a seller with a great reputation. You could probably do better if you looked harder, but this is not a bad deal, and it should run linux fine. I'd buy a bigger hard drive. Wonder if those take two...?
Nat, Thanks for the insights and URL. That does look like a good deal, but the storage does need updating. Regards, Rich
