And also fanboys who try to claim that a hand built distro like that should be used in PRODUCTION servers (I believe there is a company set up by gentoo users to peddle this idea) is just insance.
I have played with Gentoo a little at home for a few years and am evaluating Gentoo in the context of desktop and server environments at work (triple-play telecommunications carrier). It is for this reason that I was interested to read the following statements in a comment from chrysalis made on another Slashdot thread:
"I have some experience with administration of web sites with very high traffic. My previous experience was with p0rn sites (lots of sites, lots of concurrent accesses). My current job is at Skyrock / Skyblog, that serves about 25 million pages every day.
"We run Gentoo Linux on all web servers, plus one DragonFlyBSD (mostly for testing)."
Actually, I was just kidding; I understand what the address represents.
But your answer isn't quite right, anyway. I suggest you check out part 3 of RFC 1918 if you're interested.
WebBrain is slightly different but far more interesting and certainly more refined. It'll be quicker for you to click the link and try for yourself rather than read my explanation.
Warning: the sight wants to see that you're using IE or Netscape and requires JVM 1.1.

Isn't there a 192.168.0.1 for every TLD or something? :)
