+1 for system76.com
I've got 4 of their units now, a Wild Dog, 2 Meerkats (1 ION for
MythTV), and a Pangolin laptop. The laptop, is a kinda rebranded [1]
no-name Chinese unit, but it works great and System76 support is great.
They also actually write code to support the units.
Browse http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=341 for sample support.
I like my Mini9 but otherwise am much happier with System76 than Dell.
Too bad the S76 netbook has a hard drive instead of SSD...
I know I've seen lists of vendors who sell Linux systems, like:

Good luck,
JP
[1] Where "kinda rebranded" == simple paper sticker stuck over the
factory serial number. :-)

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on
software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
