I've got 6 servers (3 Apache, 2 LVS load balancers, 1 Jabber/DNS) running Gentoo currently and they've been great so far. The Apache servers each get about 116,000 hits per day and have uptime of 47 days (since the day they were built).
My Jabber server has been up 55 days with no trouble, which has outlasted my RedHat 7.3 box that was previously on this hardware (used to get random Jabber crashes, on the same Jabber version btw). Though that could be many different factors, Gentoo has been nice and stable for me. Just be careful what you do with emerge -up world, I've found it important to verify what its going to do incase you have to deal with new config files or with custom compile options that you've used or things of that sort. .......................

Is gentoo enough stable to act as a server? I mean that it uses the latest development stage for all program. Debian proposes a stable release and a unstable one. What can we do with gentoo?
