I used to have a Gentoo staging server that ran all my websites that were in production. Gentoo is a fantastic distro and I'd recommend installing it at least once. You should also take a look at Gentoo's documentation for info on all sorts of linux stuff like CVS, Grep and System Admin.

Gentoo is about freedom of choice. But the cost is you really need to invest some serious learning time into it. This is very rewarding but if you're not learning it constantly you may forget some things.
