Though its nice to know Asterisk performs well on Gentoo too, it would be great to see if any customized installation has been made for asterisk, to get it in a min. resource/full throttle mode.
i am up such a system this weekend. will share my thoughts once i get it to work.

Anyone tried to run Asterisk on Gentoo Linux ? If yes, Howz the performance ?
been working fine for about 4 weeks now under 2.4.23_pre8-gss. performance is nominal, I don't feel that the "optimization" part of gentoo is a real benefit (but that's not why I use gentoo, anyway).
Any special configuration gotcha's that we have to look out for ?
the portage tree only has asterisk-0.2 in it, you might want to try out either of these ebuild sets:
(0.5 asterisk snapshot version + 0.8 zaptel snapshot version) http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30873 http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30531
--OR--
(latest-cvs version) http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33345
What was the size of the final installation ?
of gentoo? maybe 4gb; but I am using this server for a number of other things as well: iptables, apache, mysql, php, etc. (it even has xfree installed, although I'd like to get rid of that...)
Is it bulkier than Trustix ?
it's possible to make gentoo pretty small, but it will probably take more effort to do so. you could probably try doing a stage-1 install and leave out absolutely anything unnecessary... (e.g. build with USE="-*" at first, and then slowly add just the pieces you need)
it's actually possible to install the portage system onto another distro, but the required python libs are pretty big by default (80-90mb, I think).
