Looking at the actual profiles themselves, using server vs the base profile makes these changes: USE="-perl -python snmp truetype xml" So, you're getting less perl/python support, but you're getting snmp, truetype, and xml. I think overall you'd get a more minimal setup with the base profile, and if you really want -perl/-python you could just set those in your USE. I'd think that your home box would be more likely to benefit from perl/python support on packages than having snmp support. But, to each his own... I'd be all for there being an actual minimal profile, but I don't think server really is that. Rich
