13 Stop messing arund with package.use, trying to turn the flag off one
14 package at a time. Either use the default/linux/x86/13.0 profile, which
15 has a bare minimum set of USE flags set, or set -gtk in make.conf.
16
17 The developer profiles are for Gentoo developers and set options for
18 those creating ebuilds, you don't need that, use the base profile only.
19
20 There used to be a server profile but it was dropped in favour of using
21 the base profile and adding the relevant flags for the type of server you
22 are using. "Server" is to vague a description for a single profile.
