I'm going to need a Windows-based laptop for law school. I also want to put Ubuntu on it ;)

I can't afford much, and I don't want much either. Anything with a older Centrino is fine. I'd like a CD burner too, but it's not required. It MUST be able to read DVDs, though.

I'd like it to be Linux-friendly (ie no ATI graphic cards).

Anyone got offers?

I have an Acer Pentium III laptop that has 512MB of RAM and a 40GB HDD with a DVD-ROM drive, it has Windows XP Pro on it, but I've ran Ubuntu 6.0.4 LTS on it and it worked great.

How much you want for it?

*Shrugs* I guess name what you'd be willing to pay and I'll think on it.
