A digital single-lens reflex camera (digital SLR or DSLR) is a digital camera that uses an automatic mirror system and pentaprism or pentamirror to direct light from the lens through the viewfinder eyepiece. ---- Cheep! Fixed lens probably means fixed focal length. The lens (camera) cannot change focus. The manufacturer picks a compromise focus position that often gives somewhat focused pictures between maybe 7 feet and infinity. It's also possible that it is referring to a fixed aperture. That is, it doesn't have a way to change the size of the opening behind the lens to control how much light gets in. Cheep cameras often don't have either of these features.

What kind of digital camera should you use for a Minolta SLR lens?

You would have to use a Minolta SLR digital camera with a Minolta lens. However, don't automatically assume an old Minolta lens will work on a digital camera. You need to determine whether the digital camera accepts interchangeable lenses and whether it accepts the specific Minolta SLR lens and mount you have. There is no real generic answer to this question.
