Would you like it delivered by Santa or the Easter Bunny? :)
Dell sells a few laptops w/Ubuntu preloaded, meaning it's also supported
and things work.
Having said that, I haven't tried any of them. Only the consumer lines
come with Ubuntu and I am using a few of their commercial jobbies. But
I put Ubuntu on them and they all work so I know they can.
STAY AWAY from smaller than normal laptops. As cheap as laptops are,
these are cheaper. You probably already know this but get lots of RAM.
Good luck.
