Get the best MacBook or MacBook Pro you can afford. It obviously runs OS X (Unix) but you can also run Linux in a virtual machine and boot into Windows if necessary; you can also run Windows in a virtual machine if necessary. Not only is the hardware topnotch, you won’t have to worry about graphics driver compatibility, power management, wi-fi support and all of the other stuff that can make running Linux as your primary operating system… challenging. Don’t worry so much about creating a portfolio; pick a project you’re passionate about and do that. Or pick an open source project and start making useful contributions. I would add Sass (or some other CSS preprocessor) to your list: http://sass-lang.com http://sass-lang.com
