I'm building 2 Gentoo servers at work. One of them will run a Postfix+Mysql+Courier Imap system and the other will be a LAMP 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 system the way I wanted without headache. On most cases there was the necessity of package compilation, ignoring the package management systems of most distros. This sounds like chaos to me. Using Portage I coul add and remove features of programs like Postfix without making some ugly workaround. Some people keep telling me that I'm mad and Gentoo is a poor choice for servers. I don't agree with that. I wish to hear sugestions and advices about Gentoo Servers, how could I maintain the system up to date without breaking etc etc. And forgive my poor english... It's not my native language. -- [email protected] mailing list
