Our main server, which hosts the Latin America Official Gentoo Mirror runs Gentoo. So does our Web-server. So does our Backup server. So does our datacenter. By "our" I mean the laboratory I work at (check signature). I see no major issue on running Gentoo on servers. <br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 11/28/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Jason Carson</b> <<a href="mailto:jay@canuckster.org">jay@canuckster.org</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> I have been using Gentoo for my server for several years.
