RE: [BLUG] Are source based distributions better for servers?

I run RHEL on just about everything, with a couple of exceptions:

- DB server: Gentoo (think optimized, stripped down install -- I want as
much performance as possible outta that box).
- Syslog server: Debian (stripped down install -- would've been Gentoo
but I wasn't messing w/ it at the time that box was set up).

That's assuming you're referring to production servers, of course.
