Gentoo Portage is already in use for production environments. It is not Gentoo by itself, but nevertheless an important item. http://newsvac.newsforge.com/newsvac/03/11/06/0254253.shtml The reason I mention this here is because the use of Gentoo in production server environments is restricted to the ability of the system administrator to clearly define what he needs and doesn't need for his servers. Portage is flexible enough to fit in almost every situation, and therefor Gentoo is flexible enough too. Wkr, Sven Vermeulen --=20 ^__^ And Larry saw that it was Good.
