The desktop profile will be more generic in its USE flags and in the |
| 5 |
packages it considers to be part of @system. desktop/gnome will set |
| 6 |
more USE flags (such as the `gnome` flag globally) and include more |
| 7 |
gnome-desktop specific packages in @system. desktop/gnome/systemd is |
| 8 |
even more narrow yet, and will implicitly install even more programs. |

Put another way, the more specific a profile is, the more settings and |
| 11 |
packages will be implicitly included, resulting in a more 'targetted' |
| 12 |
(less general) setup. |

You can preview and compare/contrast these differences by setting the |
| 15 |
profile, and then inspecting the output of emerge --info. (There's |
| 16 |
probably a better way to do that, but that's the first thing that comes |
| 17 |
to mind.) |
