Thirded, have had no problems with Thinkpads under Slackware & Debian.
Toshibas aren't bad either and Fujitsu laptops apparently work well
under Linux, but haven't tried one.

Have a look here http://www.linux-laptop.net/ or
http://www.linuxquestions.org/hcl/index.php?cat=507 (lq hardware
compatibility list.) for advice on particular models.
