I administrate gentoo-only installs at two medium-sized companies.
the first company grosses about 10M annually. the gentoo servers are used
for dns, public websites, in-house databases (mysql), file sharing
(netatalk), VPN, automated offsite backups, the internal web application
(apache+mod_php+mod_ssl+mysql), etc.
the second is much smaller but, as a provider of IT consulting and
hosting, relies on the stability of gentoo a lot more. all internal and
customer dns is done on gentoo, all customer email
(qmail+vpopmail+sqwebmail), all non-asp customer websites, etc. all of
their unix servers are gentoo (there are several NT machines because, thus
far, it's not possible to run exchange or ASP/VBScript on any unix i know
of).
the decision to use gentoo in these situations was mine (i am a freelance
consultant), so the companies themselves don't really advertise their use
of gentoo (they aren't advocates like i am, they just like that it works).
