[wplug] Redesigning my home network

I wore out another consumer model laptop because of using and
transporting it too much so I plan on trying out a netbook + desktop
combo. I already have a desktop but I plan on upgrading it to make it
more useful as a server and make it capable of virtualization. For the
netbook I want something durable with a long battery life and if
possible, capable of running 64 bit instructions for it draw from the
same repository as the server. I also need some way of making my server
remotely accessible, my ISP is Comcast. Can you suggest to me what
upgrades I should make to my desktop and what kind of netbook I should
get? Both the netbook and the server will run some distro of Linux, most
likely Debian. I have a hardware budget of about 800.00 USD.
Here is the output of lshw on my desktop
