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.
