Yes, why not? I'd use EVMS, though. > In Gentoo's LVM docs it is recommended NOT to put > /etc > /lib > /mnt > /proc > /sbin > /dev > /root > > in LVM partition. Hmm, the list above combines to /. So unless you use an initrd to do the volume discovery at boot time, you should leave /boot and / on standard partitions, the rest can be on LVM volumes. However, if you think you'll need to resize / anytime in the future, use an initrd and put / on LVM also. I've got a some shell code to create an initrd for EVMS, which you could use as starting point for your own, if you want. HTH...
