People keep arguing that Gentoo is for geeks, gentoo is time consuming, etc...
Please, don't pretend you know it!
Tell me if you know of any distribution that can install VMWare Workstation, Eclipse, Tomcat, JBoss, etc... with one (ONLY ONE) command:
emerge XXX
That saves me a LOT of time!
Time you spend with instalation (it can be fast using stage3) is saved many times by Gentoo's excellent PORTAGE.
Here in Brazil, Gentoo is becoming VERY popular.
I use Gentoo on my desktop, I was a Red Hat user and must say Gentoo is MUCH better.
But for a server I would use debian stable, nothing can beat it in terms of stability and maintainance.
I think that what makes Gentoo an excellent desktop OS (very uptodate - gnome 2.6, etc...) makes it a dangerous OS for a server.
It might be that this is the first time a GAS truck was stopped using that kind of device, but satellite shutdown and monitoring of moving vehicles (trucks, cars, etc) is available for many years already.

Maybe you should try to install eclipse, vmware, ,tomcat and Jboss using apt-get. You would be surprised it is not there!
