my friend Christopher is trying to learn linux and

he doesn't have a computer that he can install software onto, so i'm
recommending that he get a VPS somewhere, install linux on it, and play
with
web stuff and use it as his computer until he can get his own hardware
back.
is linode a good choice? i'm not sure if he has funds to pay subscription
fees
or whether he would need to find a free one, or maybe he can get started
with a
digitalocean free giftcard if someone has one.
Tell him to keep an eye on https://lowendbox.com/ for deals.
There was recently a $1.25 per month VPS but it's all sold out now. I've
seen $10 per year before as well.
