I've been getting several interesting replies.  Thanks!

Maybe I phrased this inaccurately, though.  I think that I'm looking 
for something along the lines of an older, _used_ notebook. 
Something with great Linux support, where the various pieces (sound, 
networking, modem, etc.) all work.

Since this computer will be at least a year old (from my guess), I'll 
be able to get it for my <$800 price point...

Thanks again,

Chris
