X1000 Linux is based on gentoo. This installation guide does not have any real special information. If you know how to create partitions, setup grub and fstab, then you already know most of what's in this guide.

Gentoo related technical issues should be discussed at http://forums.gentoo.org. It is an excellent place to get help and information.
Gentoo has a very powerful packaging and dependency resolution system. It is extremely flexible yet very easy to use and maintain. You will always hear how hacker-oriented or time consuming Gentoo is, but these complaints are almost always referring to the installation process.

HP/Compaq X1000 based notebook computers have similar hardware which makes it possible to build one optimized distribution and image it to other machines. Thereby illuminating 95% of the installation and configuration hassle.

Also, the distribution is "distributed" as a tar+bzip2 tarball. The tarball can always be used as backup to quickly rebuild a broken installation into a known working state.

X1000 Linux features:

    *

      Bluetooth File Transfer is configured and running by default.
    *

      Gaim, Preconfigured MultiMedia Keys, Gnome 2.8.
    *

      Centrino WiFi IPW2100 and Mad Wifi support is preconfiguerd and running. IPW2200 is also available.
    *

      CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor shows current CPU speed. X1000 Linux is preconfigured to dynamically adapt to the required speed to save battery power.
    *

      Speaking about battery, X1000 Linux will "speak out" the current battery status to warn you when the battery is low on power.
    *

      Suspend To Disk works! DRI (3D) and all.
