A few days ago I switched an x86 machine from "default/linux/x86/2008.0"
to "hardened/linux/x86/2008.0/server" after some arbitrary rummaging in
the profiles directory. This gave me no problems other than the expected
gcc-4 -> gcc-3 downgrade.

I'm not sure why this profile isn't listed in the eselect profile
listing above. It doesn't give me a big fat "unsupported profile"
warning though...
