ing, regardless what distro you run on it. The choice narrows down to basically the admins knowhow and the organizations compelling needs. I don't understand why Gentoo should not be easy to maintain as a server. A server has fewer software hence fewer updates(ideally only security fixes-- GLSA?). Gentoo provides magnificent tool eselect (Linux retards should be able to use it!!). So, Gentoo as a server FTW !! Regards, Man Shankar
