If you want to have a sane but minimal set of useflags to start with, the |
| 9 |
recommendation is to use the main profile, e.g. for amd64 |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
default/linux/amd64/13.0 |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
The desktop profiles as e.g. default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop are designed to |
| 14 |
provide a full-fledged desktop environment with all bells and whistles. The |
| 15 |
difference between desktop and desktop/kde or desktop/gnome is as far as I |
| 16 |
know rather small. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
[In general, the main difference between the profiles is default settings for |
| 19 |
useflags. Sometimes a profile also hard-enables or hard-disables a useflag.] |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
If you intend to run a lightweight desktop environment, both the main profile |
| 22 |
and the desktop profile can be starting points; in one case you may want to |
| 23 |
enable single flags, in the other you may want to disable single flags... |
