Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo on the server side

[Ricardo Saffi Marques]

Our main server, which hosts the Latin America Official Gentoo Mirror runs
Gentoo. So does our Web-server. So does our Backup server. So does our
datacenter. By "our" I mean the laboratory I work at (check signature). I
see no major issue on running Gentoo on servers.
