Does anyone actually use Gentoo in a production environment and if so 
how do you get along with it?

I created a Gentoo VPS a while ago as a server. I needed apache, so it 
chugged away for a while compiling, then I needed php, chugs away 
again.. then I needed something else .. chugs away..

I thought blow this for a lark and went back to CentOS. Presumably you 
have to let it chug away every time there is a security update? Are 
their any cycles left for actually doing *something* I wonder ;o)
