[PLUG] Advise for laptop dualboot

All,

I am going to move XP over and make room for Linux on a newer Thinkpad soon
(about time!).  I continue to be a newbie, so pitfalls abound.

I've set up dual boot arrangements on an older PC w/95, but have read where
dual booting a laptop can be real quirky.

Are there distros that are better-suited for dual booting, laptops or Thinkpads
in particular?

What XP system files should be backed up first?

Should I do a "laptop" install or "custom?"

Thanks in advance for your insights...
