Question Figuring out if Ubuntu will work (completely) with an Acer One (w/ AMD fusion chips)

Hi,

I am trying to buy a netbook with Ubuntu pre-installed. I have looked for hours and have not found anything. Calls to Dell, HP, Toshiba have confirmed them NOT selling Ubuntu preloaded laptops. This leads me to look for a netbook that can handle Ubuntu.

Getting to the point... I think I found a netbook that looks good. What I am trying to avoid through asking this question is having hardware compatibility issues with the netbook. The one that I have found is an Acer Aspire One which can be found @ http://amzn.to/iaD2PS

My questions are:
Will Ubuntu install on that particular laptop without causing any issues?
Are there drivers available for all the parts of the laptop?
How do I find out if that netbook will be completely supported?

Bonus question:
Is there a list of places where I can buy Ubuntu netbooks for cheap $200-$300?
