[gentoo-user] which profile for lxde
During a fresh install when on selects their profile the choices are: (Taken from quickinstall pages: www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-quickinstall.xml) Available profile symlink targets: [1]default/linux/x86/13.0 * [2]default/linux/x86/13.0/desktop [3]default/linux/x86/13.0/desktop/gnome [4]default/linux/x86/13.0/desktop/kde [5]default/linux/x86/13.0/server If this is to be a `personal use' HOST and I eventually want an LXDE desktop, , which is the smart profile to chose? 2?

E.g. As an XFCE user I enabled the gtk USE flags and disabled the qt, gnome, and kde ones: grep USE /etc/portage/make.conf # These are the USE flags that were used in addition to what is provided by the USE="bindist dvd alsa cdr -qt4 gtk gtk3"#Initial setup USE="$USE -gnome -kde -minimal dbus jpeg lock session startup-notification thunar udev X"#xfce4 USE="$USE -nvidia consolekit pam policykit udisks upower acpi lm_sensors" USE="$USE java nsplugin pulseaudio"

I don't know whether the desktop profile will pull in some things you might not want in LXDE. I had profile [1] until recently, when I switched to [3] as this is a KDE box. Since then I've had fewer occasions to add USE flags to packages. One strategy would be to start with [1], and when you can see the effect more clearly, reconsider [2], but I wouldn't recommend any of [3] to [5] to you. -- Rgds Peter.
