Good luck with your search, but it's likely to be fruitless.  I bought
what was probably the last Acer Aspire One with Linux sold by
OfficeWorks in WA about 15 months ago.  Except for the 7 inch Eee sold
by Harvey Norman for a while after that, all the Linux netbooks ceased
to be available.  It seems that MS got to either the manufacturer or
the distribution channels and made it quite clear what would happen to
any pricing deals if the non-MS versions were available.
