Non-glorious but essential ones such as mail servers, DNS servers, proxy servers, and also a couple of firewalls. I'm currently in the process of phasing out Ubuntu servers from my company, leaving just one for running Axigen. I personally don't think Gentoo is suitable for the (l)users in my company; there's just too much 'moving parts' that will make support's life a hellish experience. Currently I am planning to explore (along with Joost and hopefully someone from the Xen herd will hear and help) a Gentoo-based Xen Platform. An ideal match, if you ask me, since (theoretically) nothing can come close to the performance of a Gentoo Dom0.
