Windows/Jaunty Dual Boot on Notebook Computer

I am considering buying a notebook system. All of them seem to come
with some flavor of Vista pre-loaded. I am mainly interested in putting
Jaunty on the system, but would like to keep Vista on it until I am
comfortable that Jaunty will run on the hardware that I purchase.

I have been reading a lot of horror stories about trying to create a
dual-boot system with Vista. Some folks say it's a piece of cake, that
they just installed from the live CD and everything worked fine. Others
tell of being able to boot either Vista or Jaunty, but not both. I have
read about Easy BCD and Virtualbox. I have also read some (seemingly)
endless threads about continued frustration.

Does anyone have some words of wisdom - other that just junk vista?

Thanks in advance.

P.S. Almost all of the notebooks advertise that they support Wirelwss B
and/or G. Will these run on my wireless N home network?
