Perhaps one of you will recommend some basic reading to get me started, but I do have a few questions regarding LVM and my proposed deployment of it on my laptop. > [...] > Your best starting point is the new LVM HOWTO at: http://tech.sistina.com/lvm/doc/lvm_howto/index.html Linux LVM is considered stable, since it passed version 1.0 (now 1.0.1-rc2). It has been stable for some time before. Current Linux kernels include an outdated LVM version (2.4.9 still includes LVM 0.9.1-beta2, dated back in January or so). What LVM provides is a means or managing your disk space in Linux: so there is no way to create a Linux LV to hold a Windows or Solaris installation. AFAIK, W2K has some sort of volume management in some of their versions, and I'm sure Solaris has something on its own.
