Gentoo 1.2 is up and running well on my TP600. 30gig HD, 256meg MEmory, 
PII200.

Took a while to get everything compiled, X and KDE take forever! 

Setup went well mostly. Just follow the instructions on the site.
I do not have sound working yet, and have had to revert to the 2.4.18 
kernel.org kernel to get win4lin working.

The TP is now partly broken and I can't get an answer as to whether it is the 
Suystem board or the battery. My diags get a DEV 001 error and the bat will 
not charge.

but Gentoo is working well..
