I wouldnt think so - I have a lot of server apps and desktop apps, even |
| 25 |
on my laptop and main server at home. I dont have such a thing as a |
| 26 |
pure server or a pure desktop so I stuck with this. I did change to |
| 27 |
desktop once on my laptop and didnt like the number of changes I would |
| 28 |
need to revert so didnt proceed. I my personal opinion is that having |
| 29 |
developer, server and desktop profiles for gentoo is just stupid. |
| 30 |
redhat/Mandrake etc have had this for a long time and they just are a |
| 31 |
way to start customising the system - dont save much at all. |

I guess the question is where do you start customising from? - a |
| 34 |
desktop, a server or gentoo 1.1b circa 1999 (if memory serves me |
| 35 |
correctly) which is where some of my systems (including the one above) |
| 36 |
started :) |
