[ale] Best Netbook for Beginner

Hey Everyone,

A friend of mine asked me about a netbook that comes with XP
preinstalled. I heard that XP is really slow, and I would never
recommend it anyway, however he lives in PA and I cannot switch it
over to ubuntu for him. I took a look at the tutorial on how to get
ubuntu running on it, and there is no way he is going to be able to do
it.

So my question is, does anyone have or know of, a netbook that comes
with Ubuntu preinstalled that they happen to really like?

I really need something that he is just going to be able to use.
Meaning he turns it on, everything works, Ubuntu updates itself
automatically, and he can just go on using the web without even
realizing he is using Linux.

Also, anyone have one they don't like, and why? Info like that is just
as, if not more important to me.
