Hey guys, I've been using gentoo on my desktop for several months now. I works great. It cut five minutes off my build time when I build our product tree. It went from 20 to 15 minutes.
I setup our email server using Debian. Its been solid as a rock and very low maintenance. However, it provides an antiquated environment. I'm looking at using gentoo for the email so I'll have an up-to-date system. Peformance is fine on the Debian system, but hey, faster is always better. I was hoping you guys could give me warm fuzzies about stability and maintenance with gentoo when it comes to a production server. What about major upgrades? If I keep the system updated regularly, is a major upgrade necessary? Thanks! Tom
