Everything is cheap right now, and they are all run Linux pretty well. Just make sure you get a warranty. I got an IBM Thinkpad T20 a year or so ago on ebay with a 3 year warranty, and that warranty has come in handy. Search on google for linux and your specific model just to be sure. Someone out there has tired it.
