If i were you I'd get a couple of ethernet cards
and build a mini network.  That way you will be able
to mount shared directories from your work laptop on 
your linux laptop.  Probably you already have one card
another cheapo card should only cost you 30 bucks or so.
You would not need a hub since you only have two machines
(a crossover cable would work fine)

good luck
