The idea of 'enterprise-level' packages with respect to Linux is more or less stable packages over a long time period. However, this requires a lot longer period than is typical to Gentoo to my understanding as Gentoo typically moves packages through to being updated more frequently. But to find what you are looking for (again if my understanding is correct) one would normally setup their own portage mirror, and maintain their own derivative profiles - marking items as masked until they have passed their own internal testing - e.g. the 'gentoo->staging->production' recommended cycle. I am also thinking the closest profile to what you are looking for is probably the 'hardened' profile, which does lead me to a related question (for everyone) that I have been thinking about asking: the 'server' profile has notes about only being for certain users; and recommends the 'hardened' profile for servers. Does the 'hardened' profile require use of SELinux or similar auditing/permission tools (e.g. AppArmor)? I'm currently using 'server' on my own server at home; but have not gotten to the point of being ready to try SELinux, etc - namely b/c I still have a lot software to install and configure, etc - so I haven't tried to move to the 'hardened' profile. So I'm wondering what all the differences are between 'hardened' and 'server' - I primarily figured it was more for the SELinux/AppArmor users. Please advise. Again, I could be wrong - so anyone please chime in to correct me.

As opposed to the h@x0r l33t software list :-) I wouldn't know how to qualify software into enterprise-level server packages and non enterprise-level server packages. If you're looking for a specific package, try packages.gentoo.org Ramon
