I don't know what "the server" is referring to but this almost feels irresponsible. If it is your personal server that's great but I can't remember a time I've been in a position professionally (where time is a resource/of the essence/being billed/we're up against a clock for a deadline) where tinkering at the distribution configuration level was ever a good idea.
- seiferteric 4y agoActually about 11-12 years ago I worked on a server in our validation lab, I think it was a video encoder for iptv and found that it used gentoo. They didn't compile on the server itself of course, but leveraged the flexible build system to apply patches etc and I assume built binaries in a repo somewhere where it could pull updates from.
