7 Title: Using default-linux profile is now obsolete

15 The profiles in default-linux/ have been deprecated for six weeks.
16 Users using these profiles are expected to migrate to a new profile
17 before 2009-12-01, at which point the default-linux/ profiles will be
18 removed. The new profiles contain up to date configurations and were
19 adopted because they were easier to maintain. Users can switch to a
20 new profile using eselect:
21
22 # eselect profile list
23 # eselect profile set <target>
24
25 If a machine is not migrated to a new valid profile then emerge will
26 have very limited functionality.
