If you care for mail order, I like System76.  It's who I went to when I 
wanted a guarantee-to-work Linux laptop (on which I'm writing this mail).

They _only_ do Linux (AFIAK they only do Ubuntu, but you'll have to 
check that), and for their laptops at least they publish drivers for the 
odds and bobs that may not be in the distro.  The one time I needed 
customer support they were very responsive, and they appear to have a 
nice lineup.
