I run Gentoo on a server, but it's just a hobby, low-end one. Athlon XP |
| 2 |
processor, 1.5 gigs of ram, raid 1 (hardware-controlled). I have a few |
| 3 |
daemons/servers on it, such as Apache, snmp, and an MTA. Runs fine. |

You might try talking to some of the web hosts who run dedicated Gentoo |
| 6 |
servers. Links are on the main Gentoo website to some of these hosts. |
