It's often said not to be a good idea to install development tools
on a publicly acessible server because -- should the box become
compromised -- it makes it easier for a cracker to do more with the
system.

That's not an argument against Gentoo, just a caution that if you
do use Gentoo for a server you might want to build the system on
one box for deployment on another.
