(Perhaps you were thinking of using Wubi, in which case I believe it would work fine with either XP or Vista, but I have not used it.) Ubuntu installs wonderfully on both desktops and laptops, but of course it is possible that you might run into some hardware compatibility issues with either form factor (depending on what hardware is inside them, of course). Surely you have a linux enthusiast in your office...? Buy him lunch and ask him to help you, would be my advice. Then you won't be struggling through something that would be dead simple to someone with a bit of linux experience. --Stuart
