Re: Wanted: Gentoo Enterprise Server success stories

At my former place of employment as a field technician/server admin, I
convinced my boss to sell Gentoo-based servers.  I built just two before I
left:  both operated as a samba server, with one of them also doubling as an
OpenVPN server.

Both were running Gentoo 64-bit on dual-core Athlon II X250 with 4 GB of
RAM.  One of the servers had dual 3 TB drives running RAID 1 (using dmraid)
for the extra storage the company needed.  The one doubled that also was
OpenVPN (opposite of the dual 3 TB drives) was setup for a
lawyer/congresswoman to be able to securely work wherever they were.

I also successfully use Gentoo (32-bit) for hosting two VPS with Linode; one
runs a motorcycle enthuasist site (http://zzrbikes.com), the other runs my
personal site and my girlfriend's photo blog.

I've been using Gentoo for six years now on servers, and I would rather use
nothing else.
