I've tried once as a server, but learned the hard way that you *must* upgrade every 2-3 weeks, or updates will break soon (It was a remote server, so upgrading was.. thrilling). my "will never forget" examples: - wget update; full v6 support!!!!111 but v4 support was broken... (and now try to grab new packages without a working downloader) - mysql server had a memleak; no minor-updates available, so upgrading to next major version; ...and recompile all applications that use mysql :( And no, it was _not_ a ~x86 system. (~x86 means: use testing packages) Nowadays I'm using gentoo on my desktops, but avoid it on servers.
