Re: Which laptop? any VAIO experience?



 I am using a DELL INSPIRON E1505 that I used Symantec GHOST to make a 
dual boot.  I only use XP for DVD playback 


I just bought an ultra lighteight SONY VAIO TZ150 

I see that Emperor Linux sells these as a preinstalled system for an 
excessive markup and I think that I might be able put KUBUNTU gusty  on 
it. 

I have one problem though is finding a USB drive that requires no 
drivers and is recognised by Symantec GHOST so that might back off VISTA 
so that I will be able to restore it in the unlikely event that I might 
need a dual boot. 

Has anyone booted VISTA from a grub menu off an external drive 
What USB external drive should I use and where I can get one locally? 
Any knowlegable local computer stores? 
I am sick of pot luck from Microcenter
