Hi there,
I'm looking for a reasonable priced netbook (do they still exist?) to take with me while travelling to Europe soon to see my parents. I need to be available for emergencies for work. It doesn't need to be very high performance at all. I will run a Linux OS on it (Fedora or Ubuntu) and just need to be able to surf the net and access to a commandline.
Any ideas where to look? Screensize shouldn't be more than 11" - 12"
I was hoping to only spent $300-$400.
Cheers
Work Netbook while traveling

The Dell Inspiron 3000 11 is a great idea. Refurbished for $329. Maybe change the HDD for a SSD and add a bit more RAM …
Thanks scrimshaw.
Chromebook then add Crouton to it?
