LAMP web server which serves 25 web sites at an educational institution. |
| 23 |
Most of the sites are fairly low traffic but one of the student sites that |
| 24 |
advertises an annual music festival gets around 2 million hits per day when |
| 25 |
the festival is on. The great advantage of Gentoo for our situation is that |
| 26 |
the install is minimal with only what is needed being installed, customized |
| 27 |
to the needs. This reduces upgrades for packages that aren't required but |
| 28 |
sometimes come without asking on other distros. The other great thing is |
| 29 |
package management. dispatch-config is a really great tool to prevent |
| 30 |
breakages on upgrades. Thanks to all the gentoo team for a great |
| 31 |
distibution! |
