You can always picked up a lightly used one on eBay for cheap.

I didn't catch the beginning of the thread, but it looks like you're
looking at a thinkpad.  I'm running Feisty on a T40, and most
everything works out of the box.  I switched to the radeon driver, and
if you have a mini PCI card installed for wireless, that may take some
work (don't have one, so.. couldn't tell you first hand).  Thinkpads
are some pretty solid laptops--I'd highly recommend them.
