I will (soon) have experience with the latter.  I asked the same question on
this list earlier in the fall, but didn't get any responses.  But... I
found someone out in net-land who has been able to install and operate 
Linux on the Latitude XP platform (several people actually) without too
much difficulty.  Based on that evidence, I went ahead and ordered 
a Latitude XP DX-75 with dual scan screen , and am optimistic it will work
well.

Get back in touch with me in late January (expected delivery date) and
we'll see if my optimism was warranted :-)
