No reason why not to. Although any notebook can be used, I recommend a notebook with an AMD processor (as many otherwise excellent LADSPA plugins have a specific issue with certain Intel based processors) that has a built-in firewire interface that can bus-power. (Ask your vendor if you don't know what this means). To this firewire interface, I would probably attach a Roland FA-101 for a good price/quality/linux-workability ratio. You would have to check Gentoo how well Freebob is supported and perhaps wait a little, I know Ubuntu support for Freebob is due this October.
