I'm not sure what the hardware is like, but if you go to build your own,
there is an option to have Ubuntu preinstalled. I'm a bit wary of the
comment that some hardware drivers may be coming soon, but definitely
worth a look.
I had a look at a pioneer notebook a while ago and was quite impressed
with the look and feel. Really light and keyboard felt good and the
display was nice and clear.
and for the eeePC, this mob seems to be offering a Linux install on the Asus Eee
PC S101 - presumeably they also offer the option of Xandros.
