New A couple of possibilities
I use a MacBook Pro because it runs Mac OS X and I can run Windows XP and Ubuntu with Parallels. You don't want a Mac, so...

[link|http://www.system76.com|http://www.system76.com] - these guys have Ubuntu laptops with all the bells and whistles and are pretty highly thought of among the local LUGs.

My boss run Ubuntu on a Sony Vaio that he's pretty fond of. Prior to that he had a Toshiba that he liked, too. I can find out model numbers if you're interested in either of those.

New Didn't say I did want a MAC... just that
I was fully up to speed on the information pertaining to Linux Goodness on them.

Its also quite possible to put Linux on a Macintel, or the older G series machines.

I am in the process of going to locations and making the rounds with LiveCDs to boot from.

KNOPPIX, Ubuntu and Sabayon-Mini. I guess I should also try Sidux.
