Mike, As an artist that makes computational and generative art, I use servers to produce art work on a 24/7 schedule. [http://www.robertspahr.com] I previously used gentoo, on a couple of servers, but over the last two years, I transitioned my own personal computers and servers from gentoo, to arch linux. I very much value the rolling releases of both distributions. The arch binaries save me so much time over the gentoo compiling. For me the important thing is to be conservative on the upgrades. I have a staging server that I always test upgrades first, before updating the live server. Besides that, the arch linux community is quite helpful.
