I wouldnt think so - I have a lot of server apps and desktop apps, even on my laptop and main server at home. I dont have such a thing as a pure server or a pure desktop so I stuck with this. I did change to desktop once on my laptop and didnt like the number of changes I would need to revert so didnt proceed. I my personal opinion is that having developer, server and desktop profiles for gentoo is just stupid. redhat/Mandrake etc have had this for a long time and they just are a way to start customising the system - dont save much at all. I guess the question is where do you start customising from? - a desktop, a server or gentoo 1.1b circa 1999 (if memory serves me correctly) which is where some of my systems (including the one above) started :) BillK
