I also have a laptop which isn't too shabby, but obviously lacks some of the features of a desktop (diskspace being the most prominent).  I would like to setup a small linux partition on my laptop (the rest is WinXP for games, and the like) so I can run Xwindows from my workstation, but still allow me to be mobile.  So when I am running Xwindows everything that I am doing is on my workstation.  I know this seems like pretty newbie questions - but I have been using Linux/Unix for quite a while - years - but primarily in shell not in X so any pointers are helpful.

Instead of doing anything to your laptop hd, you could try installing ltsp on your dual Athlon and use a floppy (etherboot disk) to boot the laptop.
This way, when you want XP - boot from the hd. When you want linux - boot from the floppy.
