They are just $99 so before I purchase one
has anyone installed gentoo or embedded gentoo
on one of these devices? Do all the necessary
device drivers work? Is a port does not exist
is it possible? Likely? I know little about the
underlying hardware or any owner's opinion of these
devices so all comments are welcome.

Any caveats?

I doubt you'll be able to install one now. They went on sale at £89 here
yesterday, and all stock was gone before 9am.

If you *really* want one of these you may need to search high & low for one.  
Word is that HP is discounting 'old stock' because it is considering or has 
decided to pull out of the mobile/tablet/desktop PC market.
