Need Cheap PCs to run Puppy!

I want a number of basic small computers for running Puppy. I searched the Internet up and down and could not find anything below $200 :(

The place where the computers will be installed is very limited and I cannot afford desktops.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Can I Have Puppy Linux Running for Under $100?

My old 720p LCD TV is just collecting dust. It has a VGA port, so, I thought it would be nice to use it for browsing the internet and reading emails. My plan is to spend $100 or less on a "new" computer and install Puppy on it. I don't want secondhand computer and don't want to assemble on...

Thank you muggins :)

Actually I came from the GP2X world where we have SDL games without X11 (framebuffer only).

Ok, how about stripping down X11 to the components needed by your program only and configure it to start up once the computer powers on?

Thank you MU. The SDL lib is working well now.

slideshow seems to need X server to run, because when I exit X and try to run it, it complains about no display device was found.

I'm wondering about how difficult it is to write a slideshow outside X11?

EXCELLENT :)

I'm trying to run this on Puppy 2.x but it complains about the file /usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0 being too short!!

Any idea how to solve this?

BTW, your progy doesn't need X server, right?
