Which raises the question, if those people, who want to install a minimal server will mostly use apache or something different. And especially for minimal setups, i dont think that apache will be the first choice, so i agree with the removal of those USE flags from default IUSE. The profile is intended to have a minimal set of flags, i would call apache an additional optional flag, not a default option for minimal server setups. -- Thomas Sachau Gentoo Linux Developer
