Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo on the server side

["Ric de France" <rdefrance@gmail.com>]

I can't claim to have done anything as fancy as Ricardo, but in my
previous place of work I used Gentoo on three different servers to:

Apache, PHP, Perl, MySQL, Squid, SVN, and other bits and pieces...

Generally things ran smoothly... but upgrades did take some time...
and I only trusted a small subset of the team to upgrade the PCs...
Still... it meant that some areas got to move up from the technology
that was offered with Red Hat 7.1 to more current technologies /
versions...

Never saw a problem with it... most major upgrades were done out of
hours, and most of the customers were informed if there was going to
be any loss of service. Fortunately they weren't 24/7 systems...
mainly business hours 9-5...
