If it is for standard use - non gaming etc, then I would go for a refurbished Dell - something like the above - NOTE This one has no DVD however it might be worth purchasing a separate USB DVD reader/writer if needed.. Rugged and reliable - Need to check that is is Linux compatible before purchase. LL database may help here.
I would not recommend the above. It is only duo core and duo threaded with a base of 1.6GHz. From personal experience, if you're only going duo core and duo threaded for a processor, you'll want 2.x GHz and above. Otherwise, again in my experience, you'll have jitter when running YouTube videos in full screen HD using a browser. Lastly consumer grade laptops, including Dell, have lower quality builds. And their keyboards and touchpads show it.
P.S. The hard drive on this model is only 5400 RPM...another reason I say thumbs down on this.
