That is such total FUD I just can't even say anything else about it |
| 8 |
without using some unsavory words. |

I had an old underpowered server (only 2GB of RAM) that supported about |
| 11 |
100 users using IMAP to access their huge maildir mailstores (some users |
| 12 |
have 20+GB of mail). |

I kept the thing updated on a regular basis, and the only time it ever |
| 15 |
went down was to reboot after a kernel upgrade. |

Updates to all of the other software - postfix and courier-imap (now |
| 18 |
dovecot) were always done on the live system, and interruption in |
| 19 |
service was only momentary when I restarted the services after the updates. |

So please... there may be some legitimate philosophical or other reasons |
| 22 |
(PHB?) not to use gentoo, but what you said ain't one of them. |
