I'm building 2 Gentoo servers at work. One of them will run a |
| 2 |
Postfix+Mysql+Courier Imap system and the other will be a LAMP |
| 3 |
machine. They both will run on a mid-end corporate environment. |

I'm using the hardened profile and kernel. |

I choosed Gentoo because using other distros I could not build the |
| 8 |
system the way I wanted without headache. |

On most cases there was the necessity of package compilation, ignoring |
| 11 |
the package management systems of most distros. This sounds like chaos |
| 12 |
to me. |

Using Portage I coul add and remove features of programs like Postfix |
| 15 |
without making some ugly workaround. |

Some people keep telling me that I'm mad and Gentoo is a poor choice |
| 18 |
for servers. I don't agree with that. |

I wish to hear sugestions and advices about Gentoo Servers, how could |
| 21 |
I maintain the system up to date without breaking etc etc. |

And forgive my poor english... It's not my native language. |
