Glenn,

Questions like this belong on the gentoo-user or newbie list, not dev...

But, yes, you certainly can install gentoo on a Dell Inspiron. I've had it 
running on my 8000 for since pre-1.0. If you have trouble with a particular 
aspect of the installation, post a specific question along with the details.

You might also want to have a look at Linux-on-laptops --> Dell:

Best,
/tom
