I use Gentoo in a few production environments both with my company and |
| 8 |
our customers. Gentoo runs on boxes serving these tasks: |
| 9 |
* (iptables) firewall |
| 10 |
* (apache) web server |
| 11 |
* (postfix) mail server |
| 12 |
* (bind) DNS server |
| 13 |
* (mysql & postgres) database server(s) |
| 14 |
* (hylafax) fax server |
| 15 |
* (samba) file server providing support for windows boxen |
| 16 |
* (python) application servers running some internal applications |
| 17 |

The short story is that I run it on just about every piece of |
| 19 |
infrastructure that I support and I love it. I would mention that if |
| 20 |
you plan to run it in a sufficiently large production environment that |
| 21 |
you should invest the extra time/money up-front to setup a build |
| 22 |
server so that you don't have to compile upgrades on each of your |
| 23 |
production boxes. Other than that, I find Gentoo to be far easier to |
| 24 |
mantain than any other distro that I have ever used. |
