There have been many articles as of late about the so called "source" distributions of Linux. Articles about "rpm hell" and how to get out of it. While I have been using Red Rat since the first release (and do have some things for and against it) there is no distribution that will please all of the people all of the time. Then again, that is what makes an OS like Linux nice, in my opinion. Choices. Today, Gentoo Linux is my choice.

Why GNU/linux is not a good choice for a unix SERVER ?
Many people think that *BSD is better than GNU/linux for server.
Anyway, one thing is missing in Gentoo and FreeBSD. It's a easy way to mass install.
I'm not a big fan of Redhat, but it take me only 10min with a kickstart disk to get up a workable server... some tuning is nescessary but the most part is done.
And binary package it's important (for me) when you have 20 server to update.
