I like Ubuntu and OpenSource stuff but my vote is for a Macbook Air with Snow Leopard. 😉 OS-X is BSD Unix underneath anyway.
See Ars Technica’s great (23 page) article on SL: http://arstechnica.com/apple/reviews/2009/08/mac-os-x-10-6.ars
As developers write 64bit SL apps, the multithreading of Grand Central coupled with OpenCL using the GPU will add Gigaflops of power to a mere laptop.
Good Luck!
