Hi. Quick question about gentoo profiles.
Is there much difference between the different profiles?

eselect profile list
Available profile symlink targets:
[1] hardened/x86/2.6
[2] selinux/2007.0/x86
[3] selinux/2007.0/x86/hardened
[4] default/linux/x86/2008.0 *
[5] default/linux/x86/2008.0/desktop
[6] default/linux/x86/2008.0/developer
[7] default/linux/x86/2008.0/server
[8] hardened/linux/x86

The above are all the options (I am using 4 as you can see).
At the moment, my machine is up to date, but if I change profile to 5 and re-run emerge -auvND world, it wants to reinstall 70 odd programs as well as add some more!
Is there much advantage changing to desktop for my everyday machine?
