Another consideration, since you've already decided on a Mac Pro, is
to get Parallels (a commerical virtualization package for OS X). It
will allow you to run all the Linux and Windows Distributions you want
on the Mac Pro. Plus, if you wait until late Jan. to purchase the
machine, it will proba

I'm not sure about VMware. One advantage to laptops is that, because
of the number of student developers in the UW area, they could be used
as loaners as well. Also, I've heard rumors that vista does not play nice
with dual boots. Also, William used the word "dedicated". Will a big machine

Yuck. The point of the hardware is that people have regular remote access

IMHO, it is also important to test specific flavors of linux
(eg, debian, redhat, freeBSD) and windows types (windows XP,
vista). Laptops could probably be used for this.
