If you wait a bit you might be able to get a x86 mac that could run Linux, OS X, and XP via Virtual PC.
That said, since you said no macs, I would suggest an Apple. No, wait.. Um.. if I couldn't have an Apple, if I were barred under penalty of death to use a platform other then a Mac and I could ONLY have one computer it would most likely be an IBM/Lenovo T42 that I could boot Ubuntu or XP (for work, gotta have it sometimes). I am QUITE happy with my T42 that I have been assigned from work. Greg On 12/16/05, Charles Fischer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Which laptop to buy, that is the question.
