Found it.  But it only has 128MB of ram and it's shared with video.  Definitely will need an 
immediate upgrade to 256 or 512MB.  Unless you run a light-weight window manager.

You have a link to a $600 Walmart laptop?  Is it crippled or something?  Cyrix processor?

If you've looked at Monitor Depot. Then you might want to consider the 
Walmart $600 laptop. You'd get a new laptop in the same price range
as Monitor Depot. Those IBM laptops they have are, IMHO, way overpriced.
But they do refurbish them and guarantee them, IIRC. the only problem
with the Wal-Mart laptop is you probably couldn't test it first with 
Knoppix.
