Would a SHARP PC-UM32W Laptop be compatible with Gentoo; it has a 1ghz pentium III processor, 256 ram (which will probably be upgraded soon), 48mb video, 40GB Hdd

If it is possible to install gentoo then how would I partition the current HDD with windows on it just like resizing it...???

i have a mm20 and gentoo works fine on it. though i have have no clue abt um32

to make dual boot, here is wut i did

defrag windows partition
disable recover_mode
use partition magic to resize windows partition to "least" required :)

then use the gentoo docs.

since it is 1Ghz, i would recommend reading up on the distcc also!
