I need to buy a laptop in the next week for a trip. I don't think I can get a laptop loaded with linux during that time so I will likely just get an XP machine and either remove XP or dual boot it sometime down the road. So, my question, any laptop suggestions that would play well with linux?

I'm using a Thinkpad R40. Got it for SGD$1,600, which equates to slightly less than USD$1,000. Brand new. A few caveats though : 1. No PS/2 port, so you need to get a USB mouse 2. 802.11b is an option you may need to purchase separately 3. Celeron processor (1.8GHz) -- but works with XP

This would be my preferred solution, as well. Otherwise, I believe the following would work, as well. Kmail stores all your messages in ~/Mail, that is, a Mail subdirectory in your home directory. Using your login, configure Kmail as you would like it. Then, under her login configure Kmail
