Can I Mirror My Blog On My Laptop?

i have a massive blog, hundreds of posts, thousands of comments, and i’d like to have a mirror of it in my laptop so i can use it as a resource when i’m travelling and away from net access (imagine… no web access).

i can get the .dmp files my server offers as backups, or use the phpmyadmin backup to get backup files, what i need to know is, what do i have to do to run a mysql database server on my laptop, what environment do i have to set up wordpress in my laptop, how would i open it, etc.

if it helps to know how clueless i am, i’m pretty geeky, at least i managed the install and various other bits of fairly complicated setup by myself, but i don’t know where to start with this problem.
