Yep. As far i can see, gentoo is a pretty slim distro, not
filling up one's harddisk with tons of unwanted or unneeded
stuff, so maintaining/hardening gentoo shouldn't be harder
than trying the same with some of the other distros.
Setting up a production server always requires some basic
understandings of system & service security. Installing
apache means studying it's manual (which is excellent IMHO),
as well as contacting other admins and reading articles &
mailing lists.
The more services are opened to the internet, the more security
issues. With a fresh gentoo installation, no server is running,
not even sshd. Should be pretty secure so far.
