For the first time, i have the opportunity to install Gentoo on a properly set (almost pimped out) server and i wanted to be sure i know what i am doing before getting on with it. Where i work at, the tradition is to go with FreeBSD (which is, without a doubt, very stable) but since our FreeBSD guru parted i've been juggling the idea of starting to use Gentoo on servers instead of using it only on desktops.
   I have always found very useful stuff in www.gentoo.org, however, i have not found a specific server side faq. Does anyone know where i could get such documentation?

Any pointers, opinions, faqs, insights, etc will be greatly appreciated

best wishes
