Indiana University has been deploying Gentoo Linux heavily in production
environments.

This is because RedHat/SuSE give a corporation where blame can be placed
when something goes wrong. This was to solve the original argument of
"There's nobody to call when it breaks.." that has kept a lot of
companies from switching to Linux. However I think the recent pricing
model and company changes will make people re-think a lot of their
support needs.
