| Anyone have any experience with HP 900 K-class systems? Biggest thing for me has been an overclocked AMD so I'm a bit lost with this thing. |

Linux, yes.
Gentoo, no.
The HP series of mini-computers uses the PA-RISC chip. Currently, gentoo only runs on x86, Sparc (sort of) and PowerPC (not the same as PA-RISC)
There are a couple of distros that do run on PA-RISC architecture including PARISC-Linux and Debian. There are others, too, I believe. Check Google for more info.

So if it survives the trip and I get it powered up we can hook it to my DSL so Gentoo can get ported  |

well.. you could install one of the distros mentioned earlier and try this https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=28559&highlight=install as a second installation step.
let us know if it works (i still have a 713 and 715 in a corner) ;] |

Well,
I must say I am really knew to gentoo, however the best way to learn is to jump in and break things. I'm going to try and get gentoo up on an HP-UX c180.
I'll try and keep this posted with all of my wonderous failures 
I'll also try and include a running count of the number of times I am forced to slap my forehead for being stupid
I guess that I already have one for not adequately searching the forum. |
