At my former place of employment as a field technician/server admin, I |
| 2 |
convinced my boss to sell Gentoo-based servers. I built just two before I |
| 3 |
left: both operated as a samba server, with one of them also doubling as an |
| 4 |
OpenVPN server. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Both were running Gentoo 64-bit on dual-core Athlon II X250 with 4 GB of |
| 7 |
RAM. One of the servers had dual 3 TB drives running RAID 1 (using dmraid) |
| 8 |
for the extra storage the company needed. The one doubled that also was |
| 9 |
OpenVPN (opposite of the dual 3 TB drives) was setup for a |
| 10 |
lawyer/congresswoman to be able to securely work wherever they were. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
I also successfully use Gentoo (32-bit) for hosting two VPS with Linode; one |
| 13 |
runs a motorcycle enthuasist site (http://zzrbikes.com), the other runs my |
| 14 |
personal site and my girlfriend's photo blog. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
I've been using Gentoo for six years now on servers, and I would rather use |
| 17 |
nothing else. |
