Here are some really good laptop options for you to consider: http://www.opensolaris.com/toshibanotebook/index.html Apart from this, for a workstation you can use pretty much anything - Dell workstations, for example. But if robustness and reliability are more important than the price tag, you should consider one of the Sun's workstations. Sparc ones in the past had been known to work for decades without any issues, while x64 ones of today are close to the ideal in terms of hardware support (by various OSes) and optimal performance. I've used both variants of Sun workstations and found them a joy to be working with. Hope this helps! Hi Rich,

What laptop/desktop/ workstation/ server config do you recommend which will allow me to still have internet access via my home network; printing; amongst other regular peripherals?
