If you are interested in getting an account on a unix host I would check out:

http://freeshell.org/

It is a very active netbsd based group that provides shell access. 
While you do have to pay some money to get a fully functional account
(~$30 U.S.) it is a bargin when compared to having full on 'net access
etc.  While you will not be learning how to build systems on this
host, it is an ideal place to brush up on shell/perl/python/php
scripting.  As far as second hand machines, I believe e-bay has just
opened a polish specific site.  I am sure you may be able to get an
older pentium class system from there.
