Most of the sites are fairly low traffic but one of the student sites that advertises an annual music festival gets around 2 million hits per day when the festival is on. The great advantage of Gentoo for our situation is that the install is minimal with only what is needed being installed, customized to the needs. This reduces upgrades for packages that aren't required but sometimes come without asking on other distros. The other great thing is package management. dispatch-config is a really great tool to prevent breakages on upgrades. Thanks to all the gentoo team for a great distibution!
