I Just got the NX9010.

Well, I should receive it this friday... I hope ;-)

So I will try to install gentoo on it this weekend.

I can tell you that I was able to boot Knoppix on this laptop, and that there are instructions on how to install redhat + kernel 2.4 on it here :

So it will probably not be very easy, but it should be ok.
