I want to try to install Gentoo on my laptop. Unfortunately it is an old laptop. It is an ibook with a powerpc 3 700 mHz processor. It has 128 of ram in it. Will Gentoo work on it. if so do i download the 32 bit one or the 64 bit? Please respond. Thanks

Yes, it will run, although it would run better if you upgraded the memory. You should use the 32 bit version since the G3 in that laptop is a 32 bit processor.
