I have a Dell Inspiron 1420N.  It came with Ubuntu installed.  I've been
pleased with it so far.  It won't install the normal Ubuntu installs since
it does require some proprietary drivers, but Dell provides a custom
install on their website and they seem to be committed to keeping up with
the changes in Ubuntu.  They haven't released a Gutsy version yet, but
they are working on it and I expect they will soon.
