as "some computers not resale" - law recognizes what's known first sale doctrine, says once sell computer, can like, including resell it. *software* companies have been trying evade this, claiming you're *licensing* software rather *buying* it, i've never heard of being attempted hardware companies (note: courts have been smacking down "licensed not sold" theory on regular basis anyway).

ubuntu - under gpl, if distribute binary have modified, must make source code available. if you're doing default ubuntu install (no modifications), *you* don't have provide sources - can point them @ ubuntu repositories if want sources.

issue see word ubuntu trademarked (by canonical), can't use in advertising without canonical's permission. should contact them - *will* grant right use trademark, under conditions. here's page more info on subject.
