The beauty of running a binary based GNU/Linux distribution not |
| 6 |
particularly on CentOS alone but in general (includes Debian, Red Hat, |
| 7 |
SuSE, Mandriva, etc.) is before the updates are released to the public |
| 8 |
it has been tested and compiled for use in enterprise production use. |

When I say updates here it doesn't mean of a new version number of the |
| 10 |
packages. Instead, the security and bug fixes for the packages |
| 11 |
installed in the system. |

This is also the issue raised by Mr. Phillip Berry who started this |
| 14 |
thread. I for one wants to have a Gentoo system in an enterprise |
| 15 |
production use. This is not about bleeding edge, optimization, |
| 16 |
performance and control. |

Try to think of managing 100 servers all running Gentoo on 5 to 10 |
| 19 |
different offices/companies with different services and customed |
| 20 |
applications in production use. Do you think you can still manage all |
| 21 |
of them? |
