K, got a friend who is looking for a cheap laptop to throw linux on. Min specs are...

Proc: above 1.3ghz
Ram: 512mb (pref 1gb)
Vid: onboard ok
wireless is must, b/g, no n
Looking at spending no more then $200-$350 max

He's looking at running yoper (YOPER: Your Operating System) or ubuntu. Any Unix/Linux based OS for beginners.
