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.
