Acer Aspire 5560G/7560G have pretty good Linux support (just don't forget to install latest BIOS that include fixes for Linux support). The only thing you need to do - disable discrete GPU in BIOS to increase battery life (more than 2 hours).
WiFi require Broadcom proprietary driver, but in Ubuntu/Kubuntu there is 1-Click utility Additional Drivers, that help install this driver.

PS : I have already bought a laptop, for 150? I bought one Asus G1S. That can do for now I think ^_^. I will save the link, never knows if I need it in the future .
Once again, thank's a lot for you help ! I just have one last question concerning this website. The keyboard are german or we can choose ?
Thanks in Advance

I don't have any exact model to recommend, though. Check reviews on available laptops for battery life, etc.

PS : Just to know If I am right.... Trinity is the A4, A6 and A10 APU from ATI right ?

I'd recommend a Trinity laptop otherwise
