I run it on 3 production servers which provide various on-line services for my 
clients. I also run it at home for ADSL dialup (PPPoE), squid, DNS, firewall.

I don't understand what the mystery is in getting this on production and on 
servers, I run it and i'm positive many others do to. Apart from the SMP 
kernel problem (which I worked around) I didn't have any other issues and have 
found it rock solid for work, business and personal use.
