Hi James, Thanks for the feedback.
I do have some (Older) jffnms installs running on Gentoo, it used to be my Linux platform of choice, but I have a few Linux n00bs working with me now and they voted for Ubuntu over Gentoo. Perhaps I should not have given them a vote, but I was trying to be nice :-) Essentially Ubuntu is much easier to keep up-to-date and patched than Gentoo which is important in a hosting environment. While emerge is a great packet manager I did end up in dependency hell a couple of times and was bored of watching applications compile. I am interested to know how are you patching your Gentoo installs. Are you just looking for updates to core packages? I use an authenticated Nessus scan to inform me of missing patches, this worked well but meant I was only patching / upgrading applications when they had security issues, not really proactive..
