Asus EEE 1000
100% Ubuntu success, regardless of whether it came with XP or Xandros(?).

Dell Mini 9 came with Ubuntu but I wasn't crazy about the keyboard 
layout or the hassle obtaining it.

I set up a pair of Acer Aspires w/ 11.6" display.  Didn't install linux 
but I like the format the best so far.


Good luck.
