Hi,

Try using a distro thats tested more then gentoo, with gentoo there no
telling what combination of software is causing a problem. CentOS is
great (based off of RHE), very stable, otherwise debian is also a great
choice. I've used xen on both without issues.

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.
