I use Gentoo, on a bunch of servers across many providers (RackSpace, AWS, Linode, &c) Like memset I had some issues with waiting for compiles - especially when I started using Gentoo on both the desktop (Chromium!) and server. In ab out 2006 I configured a nice build system - All servers and desktops come from this same BINHOST. Amazing how stable a known, predictable, repeatable environment can be :)
I still laugh when my associates complain about their issues with CentOS, Ubuntu or Fedora - like not having latest versions or when some upgrade breaks things. Haven't had those issues since about 2007.
On the downside, I do have to maintain a few lines of shell script and a cronjob - and every now and then delete an email from root@calcium if there is a hiccup
