I've got one computer running Vista, and it's fast. But it's also got 2GB of RAM.

Yes, the reason why I started this vista discussion here is I am buying a new laptop (which of course will be compatible with Vista) & I was wondering whether to have XP or vista on the it.

I might even install linux ... I am not sure, I am not great at linux though :?

You guys, please guide me
I am in the process of making some websites (Erin you listening na? 8) ) so I'll be using apache & kind of tools extensively, (apart from my regular engineering design softwares: that takes heavy load).
I am also interested in networking it to other PC nearby via LAN.

Buy Vista if you dont want to do stuff which messes with kernel (writing drivers etc ) otherwise its painful to do so in Vista (especially on x64).

XP is going to fade away ablit slowly, so its better to get accustomed to vista. On the other hand a lot of legacy software (which include CAD software as well) do have trouble with vista, so do check websites of the software vendors for the same.

If you are going to buy an XP laptop and later try to upgrade to Vista, you might run into issues with drivers which means you will have to grab them from the net (if at all they are available), in case of a Vista laptop it all comes with the laptop itself. Kindlt DO NOT BELIEVE compatiable with vista logo, I bought a Toshiba Qosmio G-30 laptop (top of the line at that time and costed me a pretty penny) with that logo and till date no driver for SATA is available from toshiba for Vista. All I can do is to look at that label and curse Toshiba.

For apache and stuff ... well all you need is lots of RAM have 2GB at least if working with vista for XP ... well 1 GB will do.

Finally for linux.... laptops are sold as "Whole Package" with very less freedom to add and delete after sale. DO check for compatiablity with linux... lots of laptops (especially from Sony) dont simply work with linux for one issue or other. If possible take a linux live CD or bootable USB to check it in the showroom itself if the laptop works. I have heard that HP ones do work.
