Hi All, Just want to know abou this. Does anyone use gentoo as production servers, like mail, dns, mysql, web,ntp ,etc..
I use Gentoo in a few production environments both with my company and our customers. Gentoo runs on boxes serving these tasks: * (iptables) firewall * (apache) web server * (postfix) mail server * (bind) DNS server * (mysql & postgres) database server(s) * (hylafax) fax server * (samba) file server providing support for windows boxen * (python) application servers running some internal applications The short story is that I run it on just about every piece of infrastructure that I support and I love it. I would mention that if you plan to run it in a sufficiently large production environment that you should invest the extra time/money up-front to setup a build server so that you don't have to compile upgrades on each of your production boxes. Other than that, I find Gentoo to be far easier to mantain than any other distro that I have ever used. -Mike -- ________________________________ Michael E.
