This last part is hardly believable. The recommended distribution on
dedicated servers provided by my hosting company is a customized Gentoo.
It is the first hosting company in France with more than 12000 dedicated
servers... This single company probably hosts more than 1000 Gentoo
servers even if it doesn't administer them and only provides the hardware.
