Beachbum,

If you want to run NT on a laptop make sure you read the hardware compatibility of NT and make sure you get a laptop that NT will run on. I know people that have it and it runs fine. There is no support for plug and play, so don't get plug and play anything. Also I don't think PCMCIA will work on the fly either. However, if you do get it working you will have less crashes and alot less BSODs. If you get a laptop that NT runs on and don't need to swap PCMCIA cards you will be less P.O.ed at it. As far as Linux, I agree with what Bob says. I don't have it on a laptop, but I have read that it works pretty good. You can get it at MicroCenter also. My favorite version is slackware, I've had it for years and its popular. Red Hat is also good. You can get slackware at cdrom.com. Its the Walnut Creek CDROM. It is free from many sources if you have a fast internet connection and a place to save it to.
