[gentoo-server] server advice

[Ben Munat]

Hello. I just set up my first gentoo system at home and I like it so 
much that I rented a rack space with gentoo preinstalled (just a stage3 
from the liveCD) . I want to go ahead and start installing stuff but 
thought I should seek advice from the experts first.

What would folks recommend for USE flag settings for a web server? I'm 
figuring on at least -kde, -gnome, but  beyond that I'm kind of 
confused. Do I need to do "-<flag>" for all the flags that I won't use 
(alsa and other audio stuff, all X stuff, cups and any other printing 
stuff, etc.)? If you're running a webserver and could share your USE 
flags with me, that would be much appreciated.

I'm also figuring on setting the CFLAGS to a conservative setting, like 
CFLAGS="-02  -march=pentium4 -pipe". Anything else I should include for 
a server?

Any and all thoughts would be appreciated.
