This wiki page explains portage profiles, what they mean and how they can be |

customised if so desired. |

It is better you do not install any 17.0 profile, since 17.1 profiles went |
| 22 |
stable more than a year ago. Install your choice of a 17.1 profile instead. |

There have been a number of significant changes with the introduction of 17.1, |
| 24 |
which will add to you workload unnecessarily if you first go with 17.0 and |
| 25 |
then you inevitably decide to upgrade to 17.1 some day in the future. |
