Well, after some more looking around, I either figured it was spend
$500 and get 50% of what I want, or spend $4000 and get 100% of what I
want. 

I was looking at the various tablet PCs out there and figured they'd
be worth more investigation. They all run Windows XP though.

Having said that, I think I would prefer a Windows XP install with the
Cygwin tools installed, over a hobbled Linux install.

So far going by the stats and prices, the Fujitsu with the daylight
capable screen is the winner. More investigation to be done.
