[ale] Laptop and linux

[Tim Watts]

Hi,

I'm considering a laptop and I want to dual boot it w/ Linux/XP (or at least 
have an XP image I can boot into a la VmWare). What models are particularly 
well/poorly suited for this? Any vendors who can build this for me? Any linux 
distro's better for this than others (I have SuSE 9.2 on my current tower 
which I bought from Monarch; I got pretty good svc from them although they 
only seemed to have 1 linux guy who was "part-time" at that)?
