Indiana University has been deploying Gentoo Linux heavily in production |

environments. |

This is because RedHat/SuSE give a corporation where blame can be placed |
| 13 |
when something goes wrong. This was to solve the original argument of |
| 14 |
"There's nobody to call when it breaks.." that has kept a lot of |
| 15 |
companies from switching to Linux. However I think the recent pricing |
| 16 |
model and company changes will make people re-think a lot of their |
| 17 |
support needs. |
