Either kitchen roll or good quality toilet roll does the trick for me. I think "Lint" refers to "Bobbly Bits" - Sorry if thats not technical.

Edit:

Google "wikipedia lint free cloth" - Look at the first hit.

what does it actually mean tho?
something thats not going to be statically charged?
something with out much fluff on it which will get stuck to the cpu?

they are the only two options I can think of

I waiting for someone to say an old pair of these ;)

Wait no longer, for I use a pair of old boxers.

I need something that won't leave bits behind, and I imagine kitchen roll to be too fiberous for the job. It's too much like toilet roll, which does obviously leaves bits behind. Got to be an old hankie or something similar for me.

ok, I think I have soime sun glasses cleaning cloths somewhere I dont use

how about a monitor cleaning cloth?

I would imagine any cloth designed for cleaning glass would be lint free. So yeah, I reckon a monitor cleaning cloth is suitable.
