REALLY cheap portable computer

[dandart]

Can anyone recommend a seriously cheap portable computer that runs Linux? That is, <£120....
For the architecture, I don't really care, as long as it runs Linux. (ie doesn't necessarily have to be x86)

The only requirement is Wifi and a screen (preferably 7" or above, with a touchscreen if there is one)

Sounds like a tall order, but I think it can be done.

Anyone heard of anything suitable?

Netbook maybe.
The original Asus EEEpc 700 runs on Xandros, has Wifi built in.
512 MB Ram and 4 GB SSD. Needs an external CD-drive however in case you want to install something different.
Prices are very low since they introduced the newer models.

This is Linux compatible. You have to install it. Touchscreen Hardware. Cheap as Hell. Indestructable. Wireless = $10 PCMCIA Cardbus. I own 2 of these beasts.
X/K/Ubuntu, Zenwalk,Puppy,AntiX, you name it, if it will run on 256 mb of ram, it'll run it and can be bumped up to 512 mb ram. Also know a couple guys , one in England and one in Oz that run em and are happy with them.

I like em. Amrel, Computers Networking, Business Industrial items on eBay.com

Eek. No Eee PC has gone under that pice...

Plus I'm not sure I trust ebay / can afford shipping and a psu while still having value.
Are there any new, or newer versions from the UK?

Cheers

Man they are badass! I am really tempted to get one, even though I can't think of a single reason for having one. If it was even possible to swap the board out as you would with a desktop I'd buy it for the enclosure alone!

I see in some of the shots they're running Knoppix with KDE too

I don't know about motherboards , but I do know you can use this cable connector to make any used power adapter with the right voltage work with these beasts.36-inch Output Cable, Special Deutsch MMP16C connector
