Damon,

Laptop installations are considerably easier than they used to be. I do predict two problems though: wireless card drivers, and video card drivers. Depending upon your hardware, you should be able to get both running.

Since you already use LFS, Gentoo is a great choice! Let me know if you run into problems. Definately check out http://forums.gentoo.org, and http://gentoo-wiki.com. Actually, the last advise goes for everyone. There are a lot of Linux problems documented in both locations, and many of them are not distro specific.

I just got my new HP laptop, don't know if any of you noticed it lastnight. I 
would like to turn it to a linux box, Gentoo most likely. This will be my first 
install of linux on a laptop. It there anything that I should be aware of that 
is different from a desktop install?
