OK, now that I know what that means, I will stick with the 17.1 -- thanks. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it?

The "(exp)" suffix indicates profiles masked as such are "experimental" at this point in time.

[gentoo-user] profile is not depricated -- how to switch correctly
I got a message on my world update that said my profile which is /var/db/repos/gentoo/profiles/default/linux/amd64/17.1/desktop/gnome/systemd/ is depricated and no longer supported. So, afterr this update is finished, which one should I switch to -- portage says to use default/linux/amd64/17.1/desktop/gnome/systemd/merged-usr but in looking through the list I see one that says default/linux/amd64/23.0/desktop/gnome/systemd (exp) which doesn't say merged-usr, so what would be the advantages of either choice here? Thanks in advance for any suggestions. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it? John Covici wb2una cov...@ccs.covici.com
