eselect profile list

Setting a profile for a new system, i see the profile list has grown a bit , are there any any real significant differences between these 2 profiles;

[2] default/linux/x86/2008.0/desktop

[6] default/linux/x86/10.0/desktop

What is the 10.0/desktop profile about ?

after installing the stage-3 and the portage snapshot, i entered my chroot and went to select my profile with eselect, and i have 10 or 12 profiles, from default thru the hardened profiles. I went with the default/x86/2008.0/desktop, but i was wondering what the new set was. There are 3 or 4 profiles in the /10.0/ directory.

These 10.0 profiles seem to be brand new I haven't seen them before.

My profile list. I just have the default selected.

I would wait on that a little, until we know what it is.

But if you wish to be bold and audacious (bodacious) like a real Gentooer then go ahead and set the profile, then look at your emerge --info and if you like what you see, then go ahead and use it.

And if your computer launches to the moon, then that will be good experience for us. :lol:

Hello,

This is a "10th Anniversary Profile", identical to 2008.0:

Well now, that's good to know. I'm going to switch as soon as I have it in my profile list.

... there are some small differences, some USE flags are changed.

This morning on 2008.0 I had 27 updates and 10.0 had 35 updates. Looks like qt3support and esd were removed from 10.0.

There were some USE changes in the 10.0 profiles, and I believe there were a good amount in the desktop profile especially. There should be some talk of the 10.0 profiles in the recent gentoo-dev and gentoo-dev-announce mailing list archives.

In fact, qt3 and esd are removed I think inside the 10.0 profile by default.

I've removed the 2008.0 ones from the eselect profile list today.
