Questions about a powerbook

[Elsipkitch9809]

I was wondering if gentoo ppc is supported on a powerbook 5300ce.

Okay, first off, I am not the devil

Through some tragic means, I will have one of these powerbooks (with a non exploding battery, color screen, 1.1 GB HD, 32 megs of ram, external cdrom drive, and ethernet access), and I am interested to see if I can stretch out gentoo a bit to get it working on it.

Whether X will be supported I don't know, but from what I read of the docs the 603 is supported, so I'm assuming the 603e is a step higher and is supported. Are there any prebuilt binaries that will work for this system? (as I hear build times will be ungodly long)

Anyway, any input on this would be helpful. It may just end up being better to have os 8 or 9 on this system, but if linux & x would actually work, then I'm willing to try it out at least.

Thanks

I dont think it will work, I am pretty sure this machine is considered a 'nubus' model and not PCI
