37 Since this is a Gentoo list and not a CentOS list, email me off-list for
38 further discussion. But what you describe sounds like the random
39 glitches any "24x7" web server will have, regardless of which distro you
40 use. It's why Red Hat Enterprise Linux is a profitable *product* and Red
41 Hat Certified Engineers exist, and why until other distros have that
42 kind of muscle, they won't be seriously considered in such migrations.

44 CentOS is kind of a special case. Their aim is to produce an RHEL
45 "clone" -- rebuild is the correct term. For the most part, they are only
46 a day or so behind RHEL if that. So many if not most of the issues you
47 ran into would have also happened on RHEL.
