Until you feel "comfortable" with bash, and Gnu/(Linux) in general, you have no buissness administrating Gnu/Linux boxes in a corporate environment. Do youself and your company a favour, hire a competent person do do the system- administration.
Gentoo-Linux, as has been stated before, is more a meta-distribution than a distribution. What this means is that it is not an application you just install and start using. Gentoo-Linux is Portage. Portage is a system administation tool. As all tools it can be abused or it can be used to perform beautiful things. It will, however, require a skilled administrator to be properly wielded.
