@gentoobro I worked at a small ISP/datacenter in the Midwest and our most technically impressive client ran Gentoo. They scraped all of Facebook and Twitter around 2012 and did impressive analytics with it. They were also early adopters of those PCI-E flash storage devices. Can't remember the name of them but this was when SSDs were kinda slow. They also used to run their VMWare cluster on RAID-0 because they needed the IOPS haha

They sold their little startup and the senior engineer moved to SF to become CTO of Etsy
