I added a touch screen to my net book long ago (an old Asus eeePC 701) and you'll find a lot of useful advice and guidance on the EeeUser forum:

 

Touchscreen running under Ubuntu:

In my experience, while drivers are available for Linux and Windows, it's a lot easier to set up a touch screen using Windows (XP). Also, there's often a 'dead' area around the border of the screen, where the touch screen doesn't respond. This is only a problem if the active icon area is at the screen extremeties.

 

Note this is for adding a touch screen over an existing LCD screen (which is a quite cheap way of doing it), if you want a touch screen and LCD unit already built, then Google should offer plenty of advice

 

FWIW, here's a demo of this mod:
