What would do it for me is to see Gentoo incorporate a server
build that looked more like Trustix(.org) -- which is the
most OpenBSDesque of the Linux distribs -- plus integrated
the hardened tool chain of Immunix(.org).

Some combination, for Linux servers, of Gentoo's already pretty
aggressive nexgen approach (supervise/monit, ng syslog, etc) plus
some of Trustix's security audit approach, plus Immunix's hardened
tool chain would make, in my view, Gentoo *the leading Linux
server distribution*, and I'd adopt it as my default server
install.

Just my two cents. :>
