I have 1 server running Gentoo for about 4 years, 2 workstations and 2 more
machines performing different tasks.
All this machines at work. At home I haven't changed to Linux yet... Don't
think I'll ever will, too many variables (like the fiance, for instance).

The most intersting case was an old Pentium 100 MHz, 48MB of RAM that was
running Gentoo for about 2 years at work before retiring, serving HTTP, FTP,
MySQL, PHP and a long uptime. Took me a while to install (lets say a month)
cause of the long compile times and some tech difficulties (like for
instance booting an LiveCD from such an old machine). It was fun.

I also had Gentoo for an year in my old netbook (Asus EEE 900).
