Would you recommend this for dom0 or domU or both?

I have to say we've been using gentoo here for a couple of years on a dozen
live servers without any problems. Portage is great for tracking either
bugfixes or security fixes.

it seems to me that if you stay away from ~x86 ebuilds gentoo is as reliable as other distributions. personally, I typically find roughly the same set of bugs exist across multiple distributions.

The result of the duopoly that currently defines "competition" is that
prices and service suck. We're the world's leader in Internet
technology - except that we're not.
