Shopping for laptops(FINALLY)

I know, it is late for Christmas, but finally I afford to get a notebook finally.
Now choice, choice, choice and choice.

Requirement for my lappy involve.

1. Can run linux very well, or rather linux runs on it well. 
2. Screen must be big enough
3. Hard disk space big enough for external libraries.
4. And around RM2000. 

What I have in mind, is eeepc 1000. Considering other option like aspire one, etc.
