I don't know if the server profile is untested. I for myself neither use |
| 22 |
a server nor a desktop profile. Here is my profile symlink. |

|
| 24 |
/etc/make.profile -> |
| 25 |
/media/system/repositories/portage/profiles/default/linux/x86/2008.0 |
| 26 |

As you can see you don't need to choose either desktop or server at all, |
| 28 |
as this works fine here and I don't get annoying messages. |
