gentoo doesn't take much time to maintain. takes a bit time to get started with but after that isn't a problem anymore. gentoo is blazing fast and can meet your mission critical demands.
Sorry, but doing an update/upgrade on a piece of software and requiring a recompile is not blazing fast. And besides, it's only as blazing fast as your hardware anyway -- compiling everything from source for your platform gives you an illusion that it should run faster, which is not always the case. And if the compile fails, then what? But maybe if I had all the time in the world in between updates and the client can wait a few days to get the system *set-up*, then maybe I'd consider Gentoo. Support? I just might have to dream on. Thanks, but no thanks. ;) -- Dean Michael C.
