Isn't this essentially what the default profile is? Basically server is just default + USE="apache2 ldap mysql snmp truetype xml". Hmm, which of those flags is not like the others? Maybe it is needed for a use-dependency/etc. It seems like a not-quite-minimal and definitely not all-in-one set of features. I could see if this were some kind of run-your-whole-network appliance that threw in everything from DNS to mail to asterisk, and with a canned set of integrated configuration files for turnkey operation. I could see if we just stuck with the minimal default profile. I just don't get having a LAMP box without the P, but with ldap and snmp - oh, and truetype... Rich
