You can use any box to rip the CDs but the problem is you are not in control.
You have to inspect the meta data afterwards.
Makes me wonder what the benefits of this approach are.
I would recommend to rip using dBpoweramp
-Excellent meta data (you can choose from 4 sources)
-Accurate rip support so you can verify if the rip is bit perfect

My personal (and work) workstation is a clunky notebook computer that
boots Ubuntu linux. I'm finding that ripping CDs on this is
interfering with other uses.
My hope is that an inexpensive used pc running Linux or Windows would
be cost effective and not tie up the main notebook.

That's the second recommendation I've seen for dBpoweramp. Thanks for
the suggestion.
And here is the third recommendation for dBpoweramp. :-) I also find the music converter and tag editing features useful.
If you plan on ripping a lot of CDs, be advised that there is a good chance that you will wear out your optical drive. Keep this in mind. For a full size PC this is no problem as replacements are cheap and easy to swap in. I would never, ever, rip more than one or two CDs using a built-in lap top drive.
Occasionally you may come across a CD that can't be successfully ripped on a given optical drive. It may be worth while trying another drive in that case. I have a few computers lying around and all of them have dBpower amp on them.

I think there are Windows and Linux versions of dBpoweramp. My default OS is Linux, but is there a reason to pick between Windows/Linux?
My hope is that an inexpensive used pc running Linux or Windows would
be cost effective and not tie up the main notebook.
Sure, you don't need much horse power to rip.
