thanks for the fast reply and the bunch of tips. I'll order the notebook and boot some LiveCD-Systems. If there are any problems (like unrecognized hardware) I'll donate this notebook to my GF ;) |

However you may end up fighting with the fact xen-sources usually lags several major versions behind gentoo-sources; and also end up fighting with qemu-dm to get your hardware virtualized copy of Windows running. |
