I would like to setup a test environment for the development on my IBM laptop
T42P.
But IBM only support the XP Professional and didn't provide any drivers for
W2003.

and Sharepoint Portal 2003 can only run on W2003.

Does anyone has any good suggestion?

Hey Kam - if you've got enough RAM I would recommend installing Virtual
PC(http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtualpc). Then you could create
a virtual machine with win2k3 & install Sharepoint on that.

I will work on it very frequently. I prefect to have the best performance
from it.
so I am not sure is it possible to make the sharepoint portal 2003 to work
under XP Professional.

2. if I install virtual pc, then install w2003, still can't solve my network
driver problem. as I try to under the xp or the 2000 driver, but fail

I have a laptop with XP Pro as well and it will run a VPC with Win2k3,
Sharepoint, and SQL. The more RAM the better and it is still not the
fastest - but for a development environment it works pretty well.

Virtual PC's network drivers (installed with the add-in's) *should*
work but otherwise you can use Shared Networking as Virtual PC Guy
explains
(http://weblogs.asp.net/virtual_pc_guy/archive/2005/01/06/347965.aspx).
As he points out, external computers cannot connect directly to the
machine but your host machine can - which should be ok for development.
