I don't know if the server profile is untested. I for myself neither use a server nor a desktop profile. Here is my profile symlink. /etc/make.profile -> /media/system/repositories/portage/profiles/default/linux/x86/2008.0 As you can see you don't need to choose either desktop or server at all, as this works fine here and I don't get annoying messages. For more information take a look at [1] Chapter 6b Choosing the Right Profile [1] http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?style=printable&full=1#book_part1_chap6
