Ok, You're boned! :-) However, humor aside this is why I think it won't work. You install to a usb drive say around 16GB ($40 at wal-mart), no big deal. You install Sun Virtual Box are ready to VM your stuff, groovy. You get your hard drive on the laptop copied and burned as and .img or .iso

I think this is technically possible. I admit I'm not familiar with linux vm apps though. Vmware workstation will allow you to suck a physical machine into a VM using their vmware converter utility. It should keep its domain membership and function like the physical, provided the conversion
