PC World had the EeePC 1000 on display today saying "Linux Operating System - 
Easy to use"
They also had Acer A110 and A150 on display running Linux.
Asking what it was, I was told that it is simple and was told that the 
assistant had been running Ubuntu for a year with no problems.

Toys R Us had the EeePC 1000 and 901, although they also had a 901 with XP.

Maplins had a 7" netbook on display that is also running Linux.
