    But whenever I have REAL work to do, the desktop is still the best. Or at least a decent keyboard and a decent big monitor connected to a laptop.
    Sorry to steal the tread a little but you can run Linux(I am using Ubuntu now) along with any windows OS. At start up it will ask which you want to use. When you download Ubuntu it will ask you if you want to run it along with the windows OS or completely do away with the windows installation. I highly recommend Ubuntu. Mike.
