I have been looking for a laptop to buy in about 4 months, and I was going to partition it and put mandrake discovery (i think) on it first. I have been looking into dell and ibm thinkpads, but I am very confused over which new laptop I should get that will work well runing linux and windows and xp. Money is not important, because this laptop has got to last me about four years or more. Thanxs!
