Long term, other than having more to lug and keep up with I agree another laptop would be your best option given that the company laptop is a lease. You could try running a live DVD Linux version on the laptop and saving files to external HD or flash, but that isn't the best. I've thought of getting the Mandriva Flash drive before, so I could use Linux more portably. I haven't investigated further. The site says it's 8 GB with 6 GB dedicated for data, and it's $60... AFAIK Mandriva Flash is only available from Mandriva, unless you can find someone willing to sell theirs.
