We're using Gentoo 64-bit on all of our production webservers at work, and I run 4 additional Gentoo-based Django servers outside of work.
It took a long time to configure, and is not for the faint of heart. But, my stripped-down versions of Apache and Postgres run really fast with a small memory footprint. Gentoo provided the framework that made these customizations easy (a lot easier to optimize things with USE flags than low-level compile options...). Since I don't have a lot of the bloat that is plaguing Linux these days, I can do system updates infrequently and quickly. The full day it took me to get the server set up has more than paid for itself by making long-term maintenance a snap.
