This page documents flavors and mix-ins, which are components of Funtoo profiles:

A system can have only one flavor profile enabled at a time. The following flavors are available:

minimal: This flavor defines the most minimal possible flavor. It currently only contains defaults for all Funtoo Linux flavors.

core: The core flavor is the minimal flavor plus reasonable USE options, and is used for stage3 builds.

server: The server flavor is intended for servers but at this time just tracks core.

desktop: The desktop flavor is intended for desktop systems. It includes commonly-selected desktop-related software and hardware options. It currently pulls in the following mix-ins automatically: dvd, media, audio, workstation.

A system can have any number of mix-ins enabled at a time. The following mix-ins are available:

media: USE settings related to audio/video media encoding. Can be for desktops or servers.

rhel5-compat: settings required for running a system that uses a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5-based kernel.

workstation: settings related to desktops -- will be integrated into the desktop flavor in the future.
