[ltp] Gentoo

[Michael W. Holdeman]

Once Gentoo was compiled on my 600, and KDE. (this did take a good solid 
weekend, and on a dial-up line). I installed OpenOffice.bin ebuild on the 
gentoo. It installed quite fast, and was very usable even though it was a 
binary install.

I wish I still had teh HD from my 600, I'd just send it to you!
