New Linux laptop under $500us, any suggestion

[Six_Digits]

So, want a laptop for my own early Christmas present. I would prefer rather modest specs for Ubuntu 7.04 as well a an overall durable machine. Anyone own/know of any lappys that fit this description?

Kinda looks like what I'd be interested in... You positive the touchpad issue is driver-related?
